Biografien
When Rose Dean-Davis died on 31 January 2009, an important part of modern folk history might have gone with her. But it is preserved in this remarkable book, its words forming the basis of the numerous national press obituaries that marked her passing and of her funeral oration.
To London's East Enders Rose Dean-Davis is synonymous with one of the highest profile justice campaigns in modern history. The campaign to free her husband from a 20 year prison sentence became a consuming obsession to Rose and their closest friends. They pursued a strategy of ever more headline-grabbing publicity stunts – 'George Davis is innocent OK' until the historic day in May 1976, when the campaign succeeded in releasing George from prison. But in less than 18 months Davis shocked all his supporters when caught red-handed in a bank raid.
