O.G.S. Crawford thought history held the answers to everything. A field archaeologist, he later became a photographer flying over the Western Front during WWI?an experience that made him a pioneer of aerial archaeology. An impassioned Marxist, it seemed to him that contemporary 1930s Britain would soon disappear, conquered by history's inevitable march to world socialism, and he made a photographic study of everyday things?churches and advertising hoardings?as future evidence of how unenlightened British society had once been. Later there came angry disillusionment and a book, too bitter to be published, called <i>Bloody Old Britain</i>. In recounting Crawford's extraordinary story, Kitty Hauser uses many of his photographs and penetrates neglected but fascinating aspects of British life and belief that have themselves become history.
