520 1 |a "In this historical narrative, Dominic Sandbrook looks behind the myths of the Swinging Sixties to unearth the contradictions of a society caught between optimism and decline. Using a vast array of sources ranging from private diaries, letters and government reports to novels, magazines and television programmes, he tells the stories of ministers and models, housewives and hippies, rock stars and revolutionaries. He explores the extraordinary development of science and technology, the rebirth of British art and design, the travails of the economy and the complexities of the permissive society. And he shows how millions of ordinary people reacted to the changes of the day, from tower blocks and comprehensive schools to foreign holidays and sexual equality."--BOOK JACKET.
