Crisis ? What Crisis ? : Britain in the 1970s / Alwyn W. Turner
Livre
Edité par Aurum - 2013 - [Revised and updated edition]
La 4e de couv. indique : "The 1970s, They were the best of times and the worst of times. Wealth inequality was at a record low, yet industrial strife was at a record high.These were the glory years of Doctor Who and glam rock, but the darkest days of the Northern Ireland conflict. Beset by strikes, inflation, power cuts and the rise of the far right, the cosy Britain of the post-war consensus was unravelling -in spectacularly lurid style. Fusing high politics and low culture, Crisis? What Crisis? presents a world in which Enoch Powell, Ted Heath and Tony Benn jostle for space with David Bowie, Hilda Ogden and Margo Leadbetter, and reveals why a country exhausted by decline eventually turned to Margaret Thatcher for salvation."
