Krátky popis
The acclaimed historian of modern Britain, Dominic Sandbrook, tells
the story of the early 1980s: the most dramatic, colourful and
controversial years in our recent history. Margaret Thatcher had
come to power in 1979 with a daring plan to reverse Britain's
decline into shabbiness and chaos. But as factories closed their
doors, dole queues lengthened and the inner cities exploded in
flames, would her radical medicine rescue the Sick Man of Europe -
or kill it off?Vivid, surprising and gloriously entertaining,
Dominic Sandbrook's new book recreates the decisive turning point
in Britain's recent story.For some people this was an age of
unparalleled opportunity, the heyday of computers and credit cards,
snooker, Sloane Rangers and Spandau Ballet. Yet for others it was
an era of shocking bitterness, as industries collapsed,
working-class communities buckled and the Labour Party tore itself
apart. And when Argentine forces seized the Falkland Islands, it
seemed the final humiliation for a wounded, unhappy country, its
fortunes now standing on a knife-edge.Here are the early 1980s in
all their gaudy glory. This is the story of Tony Benn, Ian Botham
and Princess Diana, Joy Division, Chariots of Fire, the Austin
Metro and Juliet Bravo, wine bars, Cruise missiles, the ZX Spectrum
and the battle for the Falklands. And towering above them all, the
most divisive Prime Minister of modern times - the Iron Lady.
