Dominic Sandbrook's magnificent account of the late 1970s in Britain—the book behind the major BB2 series The Seventies. The late 1970s were Britain's years of strife and the good life. They saw inflation, riots, the peak of trade union power—and also the birth of home computers, the rise of the ready meal and the triumph of a Grantham grocer's daughter who would change everything. Dominic Sandbrook recreates this extraordinary period in all its chaos and contradiction, revealing it as a turning point in our recent history, where, in everything from families and schools to punk and Doctor Who, the future of the nation was being decided.
