The long running war between the two sides has produced its own mythology of infamous characters but this first modern study of the Revenue service proves that fact is every bit as enthralling as fiction. Graham Smith, the official historian of HM customs, has shown both the tragic and the comic aspects of the revenue Service's struggle against not only the law-breakers but also politicians, the Navy and the public. As the type of contraband has changed - from tea in the eighteenth century to drugs in the twentieth century - so too the vessels themselves have evolved and, for the first time, this book charts their development from the small wooden boats of the early days, to the fast, modern well equipped craft of today.
