CONCLUDING THE TALES OF A LONDON FIREMAN
This is the third book by the author, concluding his tales of
what it is like to serve at some of London's busiest fire
stations. Once again the stories are of drama. And above all the
inherent humour of firemen. So that you are never quite sure
whether to laugh or cry. This book also contains eight chapters
on the national fire service's nine week strike in 1977. hence
its title Nine Weeks at Hammersmith. Although this was a very
traumatic period for all serving firemen at the time. It would
seem that the authors tendency to look on the bright side of
life, shines through it. To adapt an old Chinese proverb, "If
strike is inevitable lay back and enjoy it" would seem to be his
motto..
The authors first book was described in an American review. 'as
the best first person account of firefighting ever!. And this his
third book maintains this high standard.
