Krátky popis
A History of Modern Britain confronts head-on the victory of
shopping over politics. It tells the story of how the great
political visions of New Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan Age,
rival idealisms, came to be defeated by a culture of consumerism,
celebrity and self-gratification. In each decade, political leaders
think they know what they are doing, but find themselves
confounded. Every time, the British people turn out to be stroppier
and harder to herd than predicted. Throughout, Britain is a country
on the edge – first of invasion, then of bankruptcy, then on the
vulnerable front line of the Cold War and later in the forefront of
the great opening up of capital and migration now reshaping the
world. This history follows all the political and economic stories,
but deals too with comedy, cars, the war against homosexuals,
Sixties anarchists, oil-men and punks, Margaret Thatcher’s
wonderful good luck, political lies and the true heroes of British
theatre. ‘Superb, colourful, outspoken, fresh and richly
entertaining. Don’t miss’ The Times ‘Lively, full of rich anecdotes
and sparkling pen portraits. He has the rare gift of being able to
explain complex issues in a few crisp sentences’ Sunday Telegraph
