Description
Having it So Good: Britain in the Fifties is the second part of Peter Hennessy's celebrated Post-War Trilogy. This highly enjoyable book captures Britain in an extraordinary decade, emerging from the shadow of war into growing affluence.
The 1950s was a time of great change, marked by significant events such as Roger Bannister running the four-minute mile and the end of rationing. Hennessy takes his readers on a journey through Britain's front rooms, classrooms, cabinet rooms, and high-street coffee bars to recapture the feel and flavour of this pivotal period in history.
With its original insights and engaging narrative, Having it So Good: Britain in the Fifties offers a fresh perspective on one of the most fascinating decades of the 20th century.
