Synopsis
Although referred to at length in nearly every book on fire-fighting, Captain Shaw has never before been the subject of a full-length biography. Ronald Cox has spent 8 years researching his subject using, almost exclusively, original sources and so is able to amplify and correct a lot of what has been written previously. In Victorian times, his was a household name. He was Chief of the London Fire Engine Establishment at only 33 and with a mere 15 months' experience of fire-fighting. 30 years later, he had become the greatest and most famous fireman London - and perhaps the world - has ever known.
