Zusammenfassung Is a black life worth less than a white one? When, in May 1969, the body of David Oluwale was fished out of the River Aire near Leeds, not too many questions were asked about the circumstances of his death. This book revisits one of the most chilling crimes in British history, and raises questions as relevant today as they were in the sixties.
