FEATURED BOOK
Crisis? What Crisis?   9781845133276             £20 May 2008   Crisis? What Crisis? 9781845133276 £20 May 2008

The 1970s. Strikes, power-cuts, three-day weeks, inflation, and the dead left unburied. Or, seen from another perspective, a period dominated by Morecambe & Wise, glam rock, detective fiction, club football, Get Carter and The Good Life. It was the best of times and the worst of times.

Wealth inequality was at a record low, but industrial disruption was at a record high. These were the glory years of Dr Who and Coronation Street, but the darkest days of the Northern Ireland conflict.


Crisis? What Crisis? follows that lead, telling the story of Britain in the 1970s through the soaps and sitcoms, the music and movies, the fiction, fashion and sport of the time.

At a glittering ceremony in the Cafe Royal recently, Mark Law and his book The Pyjama Game won the award in the Best New Writer category at the British Sports Book Awards. He is pictured above on the left receiving his award from the Managing Director of Llanllyr Source, the sponsors of this award.

The judges praised the book for the quality of the writing and the fact that an interest in the martial arts is not required to find it absolutely riveting.
