'The straw that broke the camel’s back' - Episode 27

“The straw that broke the camel’s back!”

Kate Werran is the author of An American Uprising in Second World War England: Mutiny in the Duchy - a non-fiction book about five fateful minutes in 1943 when a Cornish market town became the centre stage to a dramatic ‘wild west’ shoot out between black and white American G.I's.

The subsequent court-martial made daily headlines in both Britain and America – to the rising alarm of Whitehall and Washington – and reveals a surprising new side to Britain, race and the real “special relationship” in World War Two. Kate discusses the research that surprised her and how her chosen metaphor fits into her findings.
