The reign : life in Elizabeth's Britain. Part I, The way it was, 1952-79
Engel, Matthew, 1951-2022
Book
She came to the throne in 1952 when Britain had a far-flung empire, sweets were rationed, mums stayed home and kids played on bombsites. 70 years on, everything has changed utterly - except the Queen herself, aging far more gracefully than the fractious nation over which she so lightly presides. How did we get from there to here in a single reign? To cancel culture, anti-vaxxers and Twitter feeds? Matthew Engel tells the story - starting with the years from Churchill to Thatcher - with his own light touch and a wealth of fascinating, forgotten, often funny detail.
