The temper of the times : British society since World War II

Williamson, Bill, 1944-1990
Book
This book charts the ways in which Britain has become a divided society. After the hope and optimism of the early post-war years the author suggests there is, against a background of considerable private affluence and a sense of material well-being, much evidence now of regret, despair and resentment, and of doubt and anxiety about the future.;Unlike other accounts of recent British history, this book concentrates on attitudes, values and feelings, drawing on a wide range of sources to chart and explain what it feels like to be British.
