The Munich Air Disaster : Captain Thain's Ordeal

Williamson, Stanley

Cassirer

The worst disaster of the North Wales coalfield - one of the worst in the history of the British mining industry - occurred in 1934, killing 256 men and devastating a small community. Stanley Williamson's account draws on his own interviews with the bereaved and those involved in the rescue, as well as the reports of the subsequent inquiry and the records of the North Wales Miners' Association. Williamson covers the inquiry, and the important issues it raised, in detail and charts the way in which Sir Stafford Cripps, representing the North Wales miners, launched an attack on the whole social and industrial system of which the industry was a part.

The Vaccination Controversy: The Rise, Reign and Fall of Compulsory Vaccination for Smallpox

<p>Stanley Williamson’s meticulously researched history of the British government’s smallpox vaccination program begins with Edward Jenner’s development of the vaccine at the end of the eighteenth century, charts the astonishing speed at which it became compulsory for children, and documents the decades of resistance that resulted in its repeal in 1946. Along the way Williamson examines the social, political, and ethical motivations of both factions. The power to make medical choices, including those regarding vaccination, remains a hotly contested issue today, making <i>The Vaccination Controversy</i> a timely contribution to our knowledge of medical history.</p>
