When the Clyde Ran Red paints a vivid picture of the heady days
when revolution was in the air on Clydeside. Through the bitter
strike at the huge Singer Sewing machine plant in Clydebank in
1911, Bloody Friday in Glasgow's George Square in 1919, the General
Strike of 1926 and on through the Spanish Civil War to the
Clydebank Blitz of 1941, the people fought for the right to work,
the dignity of labour and a fairer society for everyone. They did
so in a Glasgow where overcrowded tenements stood no distance from
elegant tea rooms, art galleries, glittering picture palaces and
dance halls. Red Clydeside was also home to Charles Rennie
Mackintosh, the Glasgow Style and magnificent exhibitions
showcasing the wonders of the age. Political idealism and artistic
creativity were matched by industrial endeavor: the Clyde built
many of the greatest ships that ever sailed, and Glasgow
locomotives pulled trains on every continent on earth. In this book
Maggie Craig puts the politics into the social context of the times
and tells the story with verve, warmth and humour.
