NEVER HAD IT SO GOOD: A HISTORY OF BRITAIN FROM SUEZ TO THE

In 1956 the Suez Crisis finally shattered the old myths of the British Empire and paved the way for the tumultuous changes of the decades to come. In this book, Dominic Sandbrook takes a fresh look at the dramatic story of affluence and decline between 1956 and 1963. He explores the growth of a modern consumer society, the impact of immigration, the invention of modern pop music and the British retreat from empire.
