Product Description
Product Description
This history of Britain since the war chronicles the main shifts in ideas and attitudes, changes in social structure and industrial performance and the influence of world events on Britain's economic prospects and international status. Examining how Britain has changed in the past half-century, it is written as a narrative in, more or less, chronological order. It is the anatomy of a journey that has taken the country from a post-war concensus on welfare to a new belief in individual enterprise.
From the Publisher
Critical acclaim for FIFTY YEARS ON:
‘Witty, wry, good-humoured, frank, suffering from none of the stodginess of scholasticism, it is full of insights … a classic’ Brian Walden in the Literary Review ‘Mixes perspective and a polemic in a way which constantly makes you have to define where you stand’ Peter Preston in the Observer Books of the Year ‘Hattersley is a brilliant writer and journalist … [Fifty Years On] is a formidable book, meticulously researched, backed up with all the relevant facts, immensely readable and providing an excellent record of events that can act as an introduction for a new generation or a refresher course for those who have lived through it, providing a clear insight into the workings of his own mind and the convictions that led him to act as he has done … Marvellous’ Tony Benn in the Sunday Times ‘An entertaining, stylish and generally unbiased romp through the last half-century by Britain’s leading born-again Socialist’ Ben Pimlott in the Independent on Sunday Books of the Year ‘Hattersley calls it a "prejudiced history" and it is all the better for that. What makes Hattersley a consistently thought-provoking and page-turning writer is the fact that his prejudices are not always predictable’ Andrew Rawnsley in the Observer --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
