Memories of a crazy and dangerous time
Roger Tagholm remembers the uproar surrounding Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses:
"These are a selection of photographs I took on a noisy demonstration against The Satanic Verses by Muslims from all over the country who marched along Kensington High Street, close to Penguin’s offices, on a miserable, wet afternoon in February 1989.
...
"The threats to booksellers and Penguin staff were real. The publisher received letters signed in blood."
