A History of Modern Britain by Andrew Marr confronts head-on the
victory of shopping over politics. This edition also includes an
extra chapter charting the course from Blair to Brexit. It tells
the story of how the great political visions of New Jerusalem or a
second Elizabethan Age, rival idealisms, came to be defeated by a
culture of consumerism, celebrity and self-gratification. In each
decade, political leaders think they know what they are doing, but
find themselves confounded. Every time, the British people turn out
to be stroppier and harder to herd than predicted. Throughout,
Britain is a country on the edge - first of invasion, then of
bankruptcy, then on the vulnerable front line of the Cold War and
later in the forefront of the great opening up of capital and
migration now reshaping the world. This history follows all the
political and economic stories, but deals too with comedy, cars,
the war against homosexuals, Sixties anarchists, oil-men and punks,
Margaret Thatcher's wonderful good luck, political lies and the
true heroes of British theatre.
