Description

Britain 2021-22: A Turbulent Decade The years 2021 and 2022 were marked by unprecedented challenges that exposed the fragility of Britain and the Union. The Fall of Kabul, the removal of a prime minister, and the economic turmoil that followed all highlighted the vulnerabilities of an unwritten constitution. As the country struggled to cope with record-breaking temperatures and dire warnings of climate catastrophe, the nation was also grappling with the loss of a beloved monarch. Peter Hennessy explores the continuities and upheavals of the last seventy years, asking whether a second Elizabethan Age can be said to have begun. He laments the end of the post-war period, which came to a close amidst such upheaval and loss. This thought-provoking account provides a compelling insight into the transformative changes Britain is facing today. Hardcover, 252 pages.
