Originally published in 1957 and as a revised edition in 1970, this is a fascinating survey of many of the major events in Britain between the Armistice of 1918 and the Great Depression of 1929. With the aid of many photographs and advertisements, this book turns back the clock and recaptures the spirit of the times of the Eton crop, the cat’s whisker, Noel Coward and the Wembley Exhibition, as well as open top buses, the General Strike and mass unemployment. The book will be of interest to social and economic historians.
