1956 - 1979

I have just finished reading these four books, on British political, economic and social history, from the Suez Crisis to the start of Margaret Thatcher's premiership. Although long, they are a rattling good read, especially for those who, like me, have lived in Britain throughout the period covered. There is lots of colourful detail and many presumptions and prejudices about the events and people involved are debunked - or confirmed. The next volume is said to be due in 2016.
