Between the two world wars, England abounded with astonishing, colorful personalities, and this critical period comes enjoyably alive as forgotten scandals, sensational crimes, and almost unbelievable capers come to light once again. Among the figures discussed are Joynson-Hicks (who tried to clean up London's morals even as he defended the massacre of hundreds of Indians at Amritsar), T. E. Lawrence, Amy Johnson, and others.
