MAKING OF MODERN BRITAIN (PB)

From Queen Victoria To VE Day. The popular presenter and author, Andrew Marr, paints a fascinating portrait of life in Britain from 1900 to the end of WW2. Beyond trenches, flappers and Spitfires, this is a story of strange cults and economic madness, of revolutionaries and heroic inventors, sexual experiments and raucous stage heroines. From organic food to drugs, nightclubs and celebrities to package holidays, crooked bankers to sleazy politicians, the echoes of today's Britain ring from almost every page.
