On this day in Oxfordshire

PICKADATE--any day of the year--and something interesting will have happened in Oxfordshire. Of course, the county has experienced its share of events of national importance: rioting, civil war, archaeological discoveries and life- changing inventions. Over the centuries, the ruling classes have competed to control the levers of power, but at the same time ordinary people have struggled through their own dramas. With only alcohol to soothe their exhaustion and worries, inevitably conflict broke out behind closed doors as well as on battle- fields. But, in times of world war, the majority of Oxfordshire's people have displayed humbling bravery and dedication. This book offers daily snapshots of their lives from the 7th century through to modern times.
