Book description
This is the second volume of Dominic Sandbrook’s history of Britain in the Swinging Sixties. The first book, “Never Had It So Go,” took us to 1964 and this looks at the history of Britain from 1964 – 1970. This book begins with the funeral of Winston Churchill – that monumental leader, who had led the country through war. The national mood, indeed, was one of self-pity and there was a sense of decline. However, there was soon to be an outpouring of new music, design, technology and talen and England – or, perhaps, specifically, London, was about to swing… I say London, because, as the author is always reminding us, for most people England was most certainly not swinging. Plays, such as “Cathy Come Home,” highlighted homelessness and poverty and, for most people, they may have read about the nightclubs and counter culture of London, but they did not experience it first-hand. In Sunderland in the mid-Sixties, nine out of ten privately owned houses had no indoor toilet and three quarters of houses had no bath. Of course, the after effects of war meant there was still a lot of slum housing being used and the country was still re-building. The late Sixties would see the beginning of tower blocks and housing estates which would bring their own social problems in the next decade.Like the previous book, the author tends to alternate chapters on political and economic matters with social history, which helps the book flow seamlessly between more weighty issues to more frivolous ones. Political issues concern Ted Heath and Harold Wilson, Mary Whitehouse and the permissive society, the Moors Murders, the 1967 act which decriminalised homosexuality, racial tension and education reforms; specifically the (in my opinion, disastrous) promotion of comprehensive education and attack on the grammar school system.Socially, of course, it was a time of huge change. Musically, there was the meteoric rise of the Beatles; including their success in the United States, which opened the floodgates for other British acts to pour through. This book concentrates mostly on the Beatles and the Rolling Stones (including the notorious Redlands drugs bust), but also looks at other acts, such as the Kinks and the Who, and of music as a source of national pride. Along with music, there is the British film industry, the theatre and television; a new generation of photographers, such as Terence Donovan and David Bailey, models such as Jean Shrimpton and Twiggy, fashion, sport – a minor event called The World Cup – and art and design. Sandbrook pulls in just about everyone, from Mary Quant to Terence Conran, Michael Caine and the Krays, in his examination of this decade. It was a time of classlessness – or, rather, a new class of youth and ability – of the counter culture and drugs. However, only a minority of people went to nightclubs such as the Bag o’Nails, the Ad Lib and the Scotch of St James’s, to sit alongside the ‘in crowd.’ For most people, the swinging Sixties was something they read about in magazines.I really enjoyed both this book, and the previous one. The author makes history readable, enjoyable and, often, very funny. If you are looking for a good introduction to this decade, these books will give you a thorough account of all the major events in Britain – from politics to social history. If you are interested in reading on, “State of Emergency” by the same author, looks at Britain from 1970 – 1974 and continues with, “Seasons in the Sun,” (1974-1979).
