Death and Destruction on the Thames in London by Anthony GalvinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thank you to Sapere Books and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
The Thames runs through the heart of London, and acts as a silent witness to London's history and as unwitting accomplice to death and destruction.
The book looks at the history of the Thames and it's surrounding areas, spanning from the time of the Romans to the present day and covers everything from shipwrecks to murder.
It's a great book for reading front to back or for dipping in and out of whichever you prefer. There were a few errors in historical facts and locations but these can be forgiven as I still found the book to be quite an interesting read and full of fascinating stories.
I don't think anyone can read this book and quite not look at the Thames in the same light again
If you enjoy your history this is definitely a book you should read.
