Summary

"Tryweryn: A New Dawn? addresses Liverpool's controversial flooding of the Tryweryn Valley in North Wales in the 1960s to increase the city's water supply. In unprecedented detail, Tryweryn: A New Dawn? highlights the situation from Liverpool's perspective; the constitutional journey of the Tryweryn Reservoir Bill; the impact that the construction of the reservoir, Llyn Celyn, had on those directly affected; the political advances that the Welsh nation subsequently experienced, and the outpouring of Welsh cultural expression which also resulted from Cwm Tryweryn's contentious drowning. Based on over 20 years of research, including comprehensive archival evidence and a wealth of oral testimony, Tryweryn: A New Dawn? has been called the definitive account of an important event in the emergence of modern Wales"--Back cover.
