Synopsis "When the Clyde ran Red: A Social History of red Clydeside"
When the Clyde Ran Red paints a vivid picture of the heady days when revolution was in the air on Clydeside. Through the bitter strike at thehuge Singer Sewing machine plant in Clydebank in 1911, Bloody Friday in Glasgow’s George Square in 1919, the General Strike of 1926and on through the Spanish Civil War to the Clydebank Blitz of 1941, the people fought for the right to work, the dignity of labour and a fairersociety for everyone.They did so in a Glasgow where overcrowded tenements stood no distance from elegant tea rooms, art galleries, glittering picture palacesand dance halls. Red Clydeside was also home to Charles Rennie Mackintosh, the Glasgow Style and magnificent exhibitions showcasing thewonders of the age. Political idealism and artistic creativity were matched by industrial endeavor: the Clyde built many of the greatest ships thatever sailed, and Glasgow locomotives pulled trains on every continent on earth.In this book Maggie Craig puts the politics into the social context of the times and tells the story with verve, warmth and humour.
