The book explores the evolution of greyhound racing in Britain from the 1920s to the 1960s, highlighting its initial popularity and subsequent decline. It delves into the dynamics between the middle classes, who aimed to regulate or abolish the sport, and the working-class culture that embraced it as a unique form of entertainment and gambling. Through this lens, the narrative reveals broader themes of class struggle and societal change in Britain during this period.
