Looking Back at Britain. The 1970s: Flower Power to Union Power

A photographic history of the 1970s, continuing the series and appealing to the nostalgia market. Although the 1970s conjure images of union strife, power cuts, the three-day week and dreadful clothes, the decade was actually a time of low unemployment, rising living standards and youthful ideals. From the end of the hippie era to the beginning of the Thatcher years, this volume from the Looking Back at Britain series uses photographs from the popular press to survey the social history and the newsworthy stories of the decade.
