Its a book about England in the decade immediately preceding the outbreak of WWI, and it argues that the country was far from being peaceful and undisturbed, but was actually on the brink of social breakdown, potential large scale insurrection and civil disorder. Its written rather emotionally - the author was a journalist not an historian. But its very interesting as the view from 1935 of the period before the catastrophe of WWI
