J.B. Priestley - 1940
    Priestley broadcast during the early period of the second World War. They have passed into folklore as a slice of social history, and everyone back then knew that they were stopped because Priestley threatened to outshine Prime Misiter Winston Churchill. JBP was accused of being rather left-wing in what he said, but he was just talkuing to ordinary people about the sort of things ordinary people wanted to hear discussed! Significantly, this book of his Postscripts was published because of public demand to see his talks in print! KFSee also All England Listened, and The Story of J.B. Priestley's Postscripts.
