Sam and Alf are friends. Even though they are only 14, they work together
for 60 hours a week. This is London”s East End in the 1930s, and issues
such as racial tension, gang crime and right-wing antagonism were as
relevant then as they are today. At first it doesn”t matter that Sam is
Jewish and Alf is Irish, but Alf joins Mosley”s Blackshirts and a
friendship turns to hate. Previously published by Barrington Stoke as They
Shall Not Pass, this is a powerful story that reaches its climax in the
1936 Battle of Cable Street.
