The Village that Died for England by Patrick Wright

A reissue of Patrick Wright's 1995 classic about the military takeover of the village of Tyneham, with a new introduction taking in Brexit and a new wave of British nationalism.
"Sensational.. I don't think I have read a better book about this country."
“Wright is, as ever, a finder, a noticer, a powerful sustainer of argument.” 
"For Wright, detail is everything, and he clambers over the locked gates and barbed wire fences to discover a 'deep England' of eccentric squires, quasi-fascistic communes and neolithic pathways."
Patrick Wight is Emeritus Professor of Literature, Culture and Politics at Kings College, London. His books include The Village that Died for England, A Journey Through Ruins, and Tank: The Progress of a Monstrous War Machine.
