Description
Everybody Wants to Rule the World: Britain, Sport and The 1980s
This social history of 1980s Britain is told through the sport of the time, exploring how we got to where we are now. From the Ashes to the Brixton riots, the Moscow Olympics to the miners' strike, and the Crucible Theatre to the Falklands, the book delves into how sport became fully entwined in our national story.
Discover how sporting heroes were made, and destroyed, and how 'wars' were fought on the pitch. The book also examines how sport responded to - and drove cultural change in - our society, from the rise of Sebastian Coe to Margaret Thatcher, and the impact of the ZX Spectrum on the decade's sporting landscape.
