Never Told It So Well
A detailed and exhaustive, but never exhausting examination of 1950s and 1960s Britain in all spheres, from politics to poets to rockers, written incisively, informatively and insightfully. Sandbrook writes so fluidly, it's hard to put the book down, so compelling is every page, and the photographs are a delight too, giving a real 'you-are-there' feel to the account. An inspired work!
