Rezensionen
'...a book that does, taken as a whole, succeed in its aim of enlightening the uninitiated reader about the main aspects of an eventful century of British history.' - Reference Reviews

"Mark Clapham has entered a very crowded field. There are plenty of excellent guides, companions and dictionaries to British history in general... He has nevertheless produced a thoroughly interesting and worthwhile volume... His 'Narrative Overview' of the century is particularly welcome, for both beginners and more experienced students, and he includes a fascinating section on the historiography of the period...But how refreshing to see a work of reference that includes British Sitcoms, Led Zeppelin and Contraception, alongside more standard fare." - History Review, UK
