Sing As We Go Zusammenfassung

Sing As We Go: Britain Between the Wars Simon Heffer

Sing As We Go is an astonishingly ambitious overview of the political, social and cultural history of the country from 1919 to 1939.

It explores and explains the politics of the period, and puts such moments of national turmoil as the General Strike of 1926 and the Abdication Crisis of 1936 under the microscope. It offers pen portraits of the era's most significant figures. It traces the changing face of Britain as cars made their first mass appearance, the suburbs sprawled, and radio and cinema became the means of mass entertainment. And it probes the deep divisions that split the nation: between the haves and have-nots, between warring ideological factions, and between those who promoted accommodation with fascism in Europe and those who bitterly opposed it.

Sing As We Go Bewertungen

The interwar period has not been written about in this way before, and Heffer's mammoth, magisterial book fills an important gap. It is an extraordinary achievement. -- Jane Ridley * Literary Review *
In Sing as We Go, Heffer has created a magnificently detailed portrait of a febrile Britain, largely ignorant of the horrors about to befall it. Throughout this book lurks the spectre of the eternal return. -- Jonathan Meades * Telegraph *
A masterful portrayal of political, social and cultural upheaval between the wars. * Daily Mail *
Excellent, thorough, detailed and combatively argued. * Sunday Times *
