Book of the Week - The Thirties: An Intimate History of Britain (By Juliet Gardiner)



Reviving this feature, I am currently engrossed in this stunning work by Juliet Gardener. Published in 2010 this mammoth book tells the tale of the 30's in a lively, vibrant and informative way. Starting with the Paisley cinema disaster in 1929 and ending with the outbreak of war this covers everything you need to know about the decade that is often overlooked. Politics, home life, society and culture is just the start as this mammoth book goes into great detail

Full of information, usual titbits and info, very readable and a fantastic way to improve your knowledge of this era -  this is well worth your time!

Here is a link to buy the book on Amazon if interested...
