If anyone adores the 1930s like myself then this might be the book for you.The Thirties An Intimate History has been described as one of the most insightful and colourful contributions to the research and detail of the social history of the 1930s.
Rather then focusing on the historic more professional academic mind, this insight into the flirty decade is retold through the words and the world of its citizens through their journey through life, marriage, death, birth control and social upheaval from the working class to royalty.
Uncovering the real life led by British citizens pre world war two, the hidden facts of the era are uncovered the 994 pages are just drowning in detail. I haven't had chance to buy/read it myself as of yet but every review I've stumbled across absolutely recommends it - even the Sunday Times Culture Magazine, which says something.
