THIRTIES: AN INTIMATE HISTORY OF BRITAIN (PB)

Thirties Britain was, indeed, a land of contrasts, at once a nation rendered hopeless by the Depression, unemployment, and international tensions, yet also a place of complacent suburban homeowners with a baby Austin in every garage. Juliet Gardiner provides a fresh perspective on that restless, uncertain, ambitious decade, bringing the complex experience of thirties Britain alive through newspapers, magazines, memoirs, letters, and diaries.
