The Mystery of Crichel Down - Hardcover

Set in the 1950s in "Crichel Down," a quiet part of the Dorsetshire countryside, this book tells the story of the "Blandford Martyrs," innocent men found guilty by a prejudiced public inquiry held at a time when a lynch mentality prevailed. Through his story of Crichel Down, a town that came to stand for inefficient bureaucracy and the villainy of Civil Servants, I. F. Nicolson presents a vivid picture of the relationships between the public, bureaucrats, and politicians.
