Politics in the age of rolling news and social media seems to involve one major story after another, with every politician and commentator trying to shout the loudest. In this book, Steve Richards picks out 10 events in post war Britain that could genuinely claim to be turning points in the nation's history. The 10 chosen are convincing and each of them is a well written essay which gives plenty of context and the chance to take a step back and see a bit more of how we got where we are. A really interesting book packed full of information but always easy to read.
