description: Takes a nostalgic yet irreverent look at Britain in the 1950s, from the drab atmosphere of the post-WWII years to the brash new world of the swinging sixties. Looks at how local communities were affected by the atom bomb, the coronation, rock and roll, and television, and recalls famous personalities of the period. B&amp;w photos, along with advertisements and stories from newspapers, give a vivid impression of a decade of dramatic change. Distributed by Books International.
