The 1970s were the most colourful and controversial decade in the history of modern Britain; they were both the best of times and the worst of times.
- Wealth inequality was at a record low, yet industrial strife reached a record high.
- These were the glory years of Doctor Who and glam rock, but also the darkest days of the Northern Ireland conflict.
- Britain was beset by strikes, inflation, power cuts, and the rise of the far right, as the cosy post-war consensus began to unravel – and it did so in spectacularly lurid style.
This historical account fuses high politics and low culture, presenting a vivid world where:
- Enoch Powell, Ted Heath, and Tony Benn jostle for space with David Bowie, Hilda Ogden, and Margo Leadbetter.
It also reveals why a country, exhausted by years of decline, ultimately turned to Margaret Thatcher for salvation.
