This well-illustrated book tells the story of the Liverpool waterfront and those who worked on its docks and lived on its densely crowded streets, from 1911 through 1998. It describes the dangerous working conditions, poverty, and public health problems of the docklands, as well as labor strikes against the casual labor system and the violent responses from government and industry. The book also examines the impact of both World Wars and describes technological changes that eventually led to Liverpool's docklands becoming obsolete. The book contains b&w historical photos on every page. Towers taught at Strathclyde University in Glasgow. The book is distributed by International Publishers Marketing.
