This is the story of how Liverpool became independent from the United Kingdom, told from the inside. KTP (editor AJ Leehart) is proud to publish James A. Hartley's second volume of memoirs which takes in the beginnings of the Free Liverpool and Free Merseyside movements, the Battle of Birkenhead and the Manchester Manifesto. Told by a key member of Fred King's cabinet, this is a "blistering, essential document" according to Oxford historian David Felcher.
