About this product

Product Information

'Hugely entertaining, always compelling, often hilarious' SIMON SEBAG MONTEFIORE, SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Thrillingly panoramic . . . he vividly re-creates the texture of everyday life in a thousand telling details' FRANCIS WHEEN, OBSERVER The early 1970s were the age of gloom and glam. They brought us strikes, blackouts, inflation, tower blocks and the three-day week, yet they were also years of stunning change and cultural dynamism, heralding a social revolution that gave us celebrity footballers, high-street curry houses, package holidays, gay rights, green activists and progressive rock. From the corridors of power to the suburban bedroom, this is the perfect guide to the schizophrenic world of Seventies Britain. 'There is so much to enjoy . . . Neatly interweaving his interpretation of the Heath years with insightful reflections on everything from racism in television to the rise of self-sufficiency, football hooliganism and sex comedies, Sandbrook has produced a memorable portrait of Britain in an era of angst and upheaval' SUNDAY TIMES 'Masterly . . . nothing escapes his gaze' INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY 'Splendidly readable . . . his almost pitch-perfect ability to recreate the mood and atmospherics of the time is remarkable' ECONOMIST

  • rivetting read

    This is a supremely compelling study of the social and political environment of a time when, as a newly married family man, I had too many daily concerns to notice the bigger picture. Although I remember the isolated details this author is putting them together with the hindsight lent by distance. A fascinating read for anyone alive and aware at the time.

  • History in a familiar way

    I am interested in this period of history & can remember a lot of it. It is written in a style I like. The author just states facts in a readable fashion. I have read a lot of his books & so I am familiar with his style of writing.
