A vivid, seminal portrait of early 1980s Britain: a period that
changed Britain forever The early 1980s in Britain were a time of
hope, and of dread: of Cold War tension and imminent conflict, when
crowds in the street could mean an ecstatic national celebration or
an inner-city riot. Here, Andy Beckett recreates an often
misunderstood moment of transition, with all its potential and
uncertainty: the first precarious years of Margaret Thatcher's
government. By the end of 1982, the country was changing, leaving
the kinder, more sluggish postwar Britain decisively behind, and
becoming the country we have lived in ever since: assertive,
commercially driven, outward-looking, often harsher than its
neighbours.
