Description

The Reign Life in Elizabeth's Britain. The way it was, 1952-79 by Matthew Engel This sweeping social history of modern Britain spans the reign of Elizabeth II, from her accession in 1952 to the present day. Engel's narrative takes the reader on a journey from a Britain with a far-flung empire, rationed sweets, and children playing on bombsites, to a nation of the 21st century, grappling with issues like cancel culture and anti-vaccination. Engel's book offers a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, and often humorous detail, as he explores the complexities of British society during this period. With his light touch, he sheds new light on the events and people that have shaped the country, revealing the ways in which the nation has changed - and sometimes remained the same - over the past seven decades. Through Engel's engaging narrative, the story of modern Britain is brought to life, offering a fresh perspective on the country's history and its people.
