Having released the bestsellers The Victorians and After The Victorians to critical acclaim, A.N. Wilson delivers the third instalment in his magisterial history of Britain.
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 unfold during her reign.
Our Times takes the reader on an exhilarating journey from that day to this. With his acute eye for both historical sweep and telling detail, Wilson distils half a century of unprecedented social and political reform. It has been, he compellingly argues, the most prosperous and peaceful period Britain has ever known.
