This non-fiction paperback, "Heatwave" from John L Williams, is due to be published 23rd April 2026 by Octopus Publishing Group.

'John L. Williams grippingly captures the three months that shook Britain's cultural landscape in 'Heatwave'. His use of highly entertaining and often devastating stories about the febrile atmosphere of 1976's extraordinarily hot summer, show how simmering community unrest, in a newly multicultural Britain, reached boiling point with the heavy-handed policing of the youth at the Notting Hill Carnival.' -- Pauline Black * Singer, Actress and Author of Black by Design *
