Our Times: The Age of Elizabeth II - Hardcover
CODE: 11051811
Description
When Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in 1953, many proclaimed the start of a new Elizabethan Age. Few had any inkling, however, of the stupendous changes that would occur over the next fifty years, both in Britain and around the world. In Our Times, A. N. Wilson takes the reader on an exhilarating journey through postwar Britain. With his acute eye not just for the broad social and cultural sweep but also for the telling detail, he brilliantly distills half a century of unprecedented social and political change. Here are the defining events and characters of the modern age, from the Suez crisis to Vietnam, from the Beatles to Princess Diana.
Here are the Angry Young Men, the rise of pop culture and celebrity, industrial unrest and the Winter of Discontent, the Thatcher era and the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union. This book propels the reader from postwar austerity, to the end of the British Empire and the emergence of America as a superpower, to the multicultural Britain of today.
A. N. Wilson

Bargain Book Description
This book is what we class as a Bargain Book. Sometimes book publishers print too many copies, in other cases bookstores purchased too many copies and have returned them to the publisher. Bargain Books therefore may have been handled a few times but are still in excellent condition and available at substantial savings over the published list price.
The publisher may place a mark on the edge of the book to identify it as a Bargain Book. This ensures the book will never get returned to the publisher for credit. In most cases the mark is a small line or dot, however sometimes it is large. We do not sell books with excessive marking through our web site.
Since the publisher marks each book by hand and often not in the same location, we are unable to provide information on specific markings on each title. Below are two examples (circled in white) of typical publisher marks that may appear on our Bargain Books.
