SING AS WE GO - SIMON HEFFER KARTONIERT (TB)

'An epic new history . . . a work of epic scholarship  breathtaking range  and piercing
originality' Daily Express'An astonishing achievement of narrative history . . . I think the
word is magisterial.' Spectator'Excellent  thorough  detailed and combatively argued.' Sunday
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
