1956 and all that: A memorable history of England since the war to end all wars (Two)

Description

Experience the definitive post-war history of Britain through Ned Sherrin's acclaimed two-volume series. This volume covers the pivotal years following 1945, tracing England's dramatic transformation from a war-weary nation into a modern European democracy. Sherrin combines meticulous research with the wit and cultural insight that made him one of Britain's most respected historians.\n\nRather than a dry chronological list, this is a vibrant narrative of the 1950s and 60s — the era of the Suez Crisis, the rise of the Beatles, the decline of empire, and the birth of the welfare state. Sherrin captures the public mood as vividly as the political shifts, making the complex history of the post-war period accessible and engaging for every reader.\n\nThis EPUB edition preserves the original M. Joseph edition's comprehensive scope. Whether you are a history student, a fan of British cultural history, or simply curious about the decades that shaped modern England, this volume is essential reading.
