Unsurprisingly, emotive responses have coloured many commentaries on the massacre of St Peter's field on 16 August 1819. Many descriptions of the incident, for reasons of self-interest, lack of information, or political dishonesty, have done poor service to the complete unvarnished truth. This book sets out to reconsider three aspects of Peterloo: the forewarnings, the flashpoint, and the aftermath.
