'A grade, A list oral history' The Sunday Times 'Eminently,
moreishly readable' The New Statesmen 'A rollicking read' Mail on
Sunday 'Entertaining' Observer The nineties was the decade when
British culture reclaimed its position at the artistic centre of
the world. Not since the 'Swinging Sixties' had art, comedy,
fashion, film, football, literature and music interwoven into a
blooming of national self-confidence. It was the decade of Lad
Culture and Girl Power; of Blur vs Oasis. When fashion runways
shone with British talent, Young British Artists became household
names, football was 'coming home' and British film went worldwide.
From Old Labour's defeat in 1992 through to New Labour's historic
landslide in 1997, Don't Look Back In Anger chronicles the Cool
Britannia age when the country united through a resurgence of
patriotism and a celebration of all things British. But it was also
an era of false promises and misplaced trust, when the weight of
substance was based on the airlessness of branding, spin and the
first stirrings of celebrity culture. A decade that started with
hope then ended with the death of the 'people's princess' and 9/11
- an event that redefined a new world order. Through sixty-eight
voices that epitomise the decade - including Tony Blair, John
Major, Noel Gallagher, Damon Albarn, Tracey Emin, Keith Allen,
Meera Syal, David Baddiel, Irvine Welsh and Steve Coogan - we
re-live the epic highs and crashing lows of one of the most
eventful periods in British history. Today, in an age where
identity dominates the national agenda, Don't Look Back In Anger is
a necessary and compelling historical document.
