Going to the Dogs: A History of Greyhound Racing in Britain, 1926-2017
Keith Laybourn
This book examines the rapid rise and slow decline of greyhound racing in Britain, focusing on the 1920s to the 1960s. It examines the way in which the middle classes sought to ban or control a sport and gambling opportunity which became a niche part of British working-class culture. -- .
