Casualties of Peterloo

Drawing on eight surviving casualty lists, full of information about the victims and their attackers, Professor Michael Bush gives us an objective assessment of the day's events. He shows that this was no mere act of dispersal. It was an act of terror and humiliation worthy of the epithet `massacre', and unequalled in the history of Britain.
