Journalist Harris and photo journalist Michael Peto captures Britain's many moods and contrasts in 140 full page black and white plates. Harris describes how Britons govern themselves; what they think of themselves, their leaders, and the outside world; how they spend their spare time, their Sundays, their schooldays, their evenings; how they live and what they do. Among subjects discussed are the postwar policies of Britain, the welfare state, games and sport, religion, education, culture, and the mass media of press, radio and television. Peto's vivid photographs show this complex and self contradictory people at work and play. They also present the many faces of Britain's architecture, both historic and contemporary; the antique market on Portobello Road, The Rolls Royce works at Derby, the Olympia Dog Show, etc. Wonderful documented retrospective of England 1960's. White cloth boards and spine, red and blue lettering.
