This book examines the rapid rise and slow decline of greyhound racing in Britain, focusing on the 1920s to the 1960s. It examines the way in which the middle classes sought to ban or control a sport and gambling opportunity which became a niche part of British working-class culture.

Keith Laybourn is Diamond Jubilee Professor and Professor of History at the University of Huddersfield
