The Way It Was
When Queen Elizabeth II came to the throne in 1952, Britain had a far-flung empire, Winston Churchill was prime minister, sweets were rationed, mums stayed at home and kids played on bombsites. Through original research, interviews with people who were there and his own memories of the time, Matthew Engel traces this transformation of British society as never before. In the years that followed everything changed utterly.
In doing so, he brings these three decades to life with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail. Beginning with the death of King George VI and ending on the eve of Margaret Thatcher's election, Engel not only covers all the major historical events but also explores everyday life - from the food we ate and where we shopped, to what we watched on television and the newspapers we read. Previously published as The Reign - Life in Elizabeth's Britain.
