If anyone wants to know what has been happening to Britain since the 1950s, it is difficult to imagine a more informative, or better-humoured guide ... a Thucydidean coolness, balance and wisdom that is superb.' - AN Wilson, The Times 'Who Dares Wins captures the period with clairvoyant vividness.\r\n\r\n Compulsively readable, the book will be indispensable to anyone who wants to understand these pivotal years.' - John Gray, New Statesman'Immaculately well-researched, breathtakingly broad and beautifully written ... Sandbrook leaves the reader impatient for the next volume.' - Simon Heffer, Daily TelegraphThe acclaimed historian of modern Britain, Dominic Sandbrook, tells the story of the early 1980s: the most dramatic, colourful and controversial  years in our recent history. Margaret Thatcher had come to power in 1979 with a  daring plan to reverse Britain's decline into shabbiness and chaos.\r\n\r\n But  as factories closed their doors, dole queues lengthened and the inner  cities exploded in flames, would her radical medicine rescue the Sick  Man of Europe - or kill it off?Vivid, surprising and gloriously  entertaining, Dominic Sandbrook's new book recreates the decisive  turning point in Britain's recent story. For some people this was an age  of unparalleled opportunity, the heyday of computers and credit cards,  snooker, Sloane Rangers and Spandau Ballet. Yet for others it was an era  of shocking bitterness, as industries collapsed, working-class  communities buckled and the Labour Party tore itself apart.\r\n\r\n And when  Argentine forces seized the Falkland Islands, it seemed the final  humiliation for a wounded, unhappy country, its fortunes now standing on  a knife-edge. Here are the early 1980s in all their gaudy  glory. This is the story of Tony Benn, Ian Botham and Princess Diana   Joy Division, Chariots of Fire, the Austin Metro and Juliet Bravo  wine  bars, Cruise missiles, the ZX Spectrum and the battle for the Falklands.\r\n\r\n  And towering above them all, the most divisive Prime Minister of modern  times - the Iron Lady.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
