Born in the 30s

The 1930s came in with the Great Depression and went out with World War II. Amid all the political and financial upheaval, it was a decade that saw many traditions shaken to their foundations and new thinking taking centre-stage, leading to the abdication of Edward VIII, great leaps forward in health and education and the launch of BBC television. In this book the human side of this revolutionary decade is captured vividly in words and pictures.
