Critics Review

Magnificent … if you lived through the late Seventies - or, for that matter, even if you didn’t - don’t miss this book

Magnificent … if you lived through the late Seventies - or, for that matter, even if you didn’t - don’t miss this book. * Mail on Sunday *
Sandbrook has created a specific style of narrative history, blending high politics, social change and popular culture … always readable and assured … Anyone who genuinely believes we have never been so badly governed should read this splendid book. – Stephen Robinson * Sunday Times *
Nuanced … Sandbrook has rummaged deep into the cultural life of the era to remind us how rich it was, from Bowie to Dennis Potter, Martin Amis to William Golding. – Damian Whitworth * The Times *
Sharply and fluently written … entertaining … By making you quite nostalgic for the present, Sandbrook has done a public service. * Evening Standard *
