Description

The War on the Old by John Sutherland A growing attitude in Britain views the elderly as a social problem, rather than a tribute to the better life the country provides for its population. This intergenerational conflict is seen as a new kind of 'war', with institutional neglect and universal indifference to the old reaching aggressive levels. John Sutherland examines this issue, revealing deep and inconvenient truths about the state of care for older people in Britain. His book is a provocative exploration of a subject that British society would rather not think about. This book tells a necessary story about the challenges faced by older people in modern Britain, and the need for a more nuanced understanding of this complex issue.
