Times ______________________________________Sing As We Go is an astonishingly ambitious
overview of the political social and cultural history of the country from 1919 to 1939.It
explores and explains the politics of the period and puts such moments of national turmoil as
the General Strike of 1926 and the Abdication Crisis of 1936 under the microscope. It offers
pen portraits of the era's most significant figures. It traces the changing face of Britain as
cars made their first mass appearance the suburbs sprawled and radio and cinema became the
means of mass entertainment. And it probes the deep divisions that split the nation: between
the haves and have-nots between warring ideological factions and between those who promoted
accommodation with fascism in Europe and those who bitterly opposed
it.__________________________________________'Magisterial . . . an extraordinary achievement.'
Literary Review'A masterful portrayal of political social and cultural upheaval between the
wars.' Daily Mail
