What is the best book on the Great Smog (air pollution in the 1950s in London)?

[Buenchico]

If you can find it in a library (unless you've just won the Lottery and are happy to buy it!), Chapter 8 of this work might be worth a look:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Big-Smoke-Routledge-Revivals/dp/0415671833

I was there - what do you need to know ?
If you really need a whole book, ask in your local public library. If they havn't got exactly the title you want, they can probably borrow it for a very modest fee from another library

I was there too - you could taste it. Very scary.

Sorry, can't help, haven't got the foggiest!

[Peter Pedant]

someone wrote a BOOK about it ?

can I recommend The electrification of Lyme ?
a book about the coming of the electric power to er Lyme Regis
Not about the girt smarg but a worthy second.
