The rural war: Captain Swing and the politics of protest
Carl J. Griffin
The Swing Riots were the most dramatic and widespread rising of the English rural poor. Protestors destroyed machines, demanding higher wages and better poor relief. Swing represented a genuine challenge to the existing ruling order, provoking a bitter and bloody repression. This is a vivid account of a defining moment in British history. -- .
