ABOUT
The history and real story of smuggling.
The smuggler is just as exciting as the old tales of silent, sinister men risking their lives to bring comforts to an overtaxed populance.
The smuggler was often a larger-than-life character in his own right; but he war rarely the gallant hero. While he had the support of the people in defying the law, the Revenue Officers were despised - but their fast, sophisticated cutters and daring crews engaged in exploits as fantastic as any fiction. Here the aims and devices of hard-pressed smugglers, the conflicts between the Customs Service and the Royal Navy, the new types of smuggling that the Customs and Excise men combat today, are lucidly described with vivid illustrations.
Includes monochrome images.
