Don't know what to say about the title. Its a title, end of story
It was a fascinating tale of how the Sheffield police operated in the 1960s but I was expecting it would have more to say about the well known 1960s and 1970s Sheffield "Hard men" so that was disappointing. Interesting what it had to say about the influence of Freemasonry in the police at that time and I'm sure very true..it wasn't just in respect of the Sheffield police either; I was told 40 + years ago by a then sergeant in another police force that if he wanted to get further promotions he would have to join the Freemasons.I would certainly recommend the book.to anyone who lived or used to be involved in Sheffield nightlife in those years.

The story is exactly what the title says it is
Its an excellent dramatisation of the nativity

Gripping and authentic
I read this book when it first came out 50 years ago. I thought it was a wonderful book then and I still do.It is the definitive work about the Somme and was the catalyst for a host of later First World War genre books. Telling the events of 1st July 1916 from the perspective and experiences of 10 individual soldiers who went over the top at different parts of the line gives it an authenticity that would not otherwise be possible. I actually knew one of the 10 men whose experiences the book is built round (Lieutenant Phillip Howe) when he was an old man on his 80s and lived only a couple of hundred yards from me
