The Years of the Week (Comedia Series, No 27)

"This is the story of Claud Cockburn's legendary political news-sheet which blew the gaff on the 1930s. It was the policy of The Week to make public news and rumours of news which never made headlines in the tame official press of that time. It was the cause of laughter, despondency or alarm in very diverse political circles--Ramsey McDonald fumed at it in public, Ribbentrop tried to have it suppressed. Its circulation grew and grew. In the best traditions of the unofficial press, it provided a very different view of the major events of the decade--including the war in Spain, the Cliveden Set (it was Cockburn who coined the epithet that stuck for years) and the rise of appeasers in England, the Abyssinian war and Munich."--Page [4] of cover.
