Description
The 'real' Sixties began on 5 October 1962, with two icons of the future heralding a social and cultural revolution. This is the story of those charged months leading up to that moment, when Britain was on the cusp of change.
On the Cusp takes place during the summer and early autumn of 1962, in a world still of seemingly settled social and economic certainties, but on the edge of fundamental change. The book weaves together an array of fresh contemporary sources, including diarists both famous and obscure, to evoke a vivid picture of life in Britain at that time.
From seaside holidays to church fetes, On the Cusp offers a glimpse into a world that was still largely unchanged, yet poised on the brink of transformation. With its rich and detailed portrayal of post-war Britain, this book is a compelling read for anyone interested in history and social change.
