For those who may seek a detailed study of a community, and the genesis and
impact of a single major local crime, together with the way it was handled,
I would thoroughly commend "The Murder of Mr Grebell" by P K Monod.Yale
University Press 2003. Even those with no interest in the town of Rye,
Sussex, will find an analytical account of personal and political motivation
in a small community over a century or two. Faction and fantasy influencing
a population. How to create an oligarchy in three or four easy lessons!
Social history from the lateral view. Ask your Local Library to get it for
you.
