about me
Former clerk, theatre worker, musician and journalist, David Black’s previous books are ‘Acid: A New Secret History of LSD’ (1997, 2001, 2005) and ‘Helen Macfarlane: A Feminist, Revolutionary Journalist and Philosopher in Mid-19th Century England’ (2004). Now with '1839 - The Year of Chartist Insurrection' he and Christopher Ford (author, ‘Ukraine’s Orange Revolution’ - 2006 - and ‘Borotbism' -2007) tell the story of the birth of the Chartists and how their first campaign brought Britain closer to revolution than at any time since the Civil War.
