The Twilight Years: The Paradox of Britain Between the Wars

I picked up a copy of The Twilight Years: The Paradox of Britain Between the Wars cheap on sale earlier this week.

It looks like a pretty decent tome and I'll post a brief review once I've had a chance to read it.

There's more info on the bibliogrpahy page.

Some light reading

I received my copy of 1930s Britain by Robert Pearce from Book Depository yesterday. I've already read through the first couple of chapters and it seems OK.

To be truthful I was hoping for something a little more comprehensive and with some info on the political situation in the thirties but there is a definite lack in that area.

Having said that it's a good general introduction to life in the period and certainly not money wasted. I will need to keep my eye out for something else with more detail on the political side though.

Full info on the bibliography page...
