This book reveals true life dramas across the 17th and 20th centuries as seen through the eyes of ten generations of ordinary men and their families. The men lived in the coastal area of East Kent and the book describes how they struggled with a complex mesh of intriguing events to live out their daily lives. A major theme running through the first half of the book is the rise and fall of wool smuggling in the area and the various attempts of the authorities to combat this. Part Two deals with the social changes brought about by the stirring of the Industrial Revolution and the devastation of two World Wars.
