Drawing on an unparalleled array of sources, A Northern Wind captures a unique cultural and political moment, while revealing in all their variety the experiences of the everyday people who lived through it., The early sixties in Britain told as only David Kynaston ('the most entertaining historian alive' Spectator ) can: running from 1962 to 1965, A Northern Wind is the anticipated next volume in Kynaston's landmark 'Tales of a New Jerusalem' series, The early sixties in Britain told as only David Kynaston ('the most entertaining historian alive' Spectator ) can. Running from 1962 to 1965, A Northern Wind is the anticipated new volume in the landmark 'Tales of a New Jerusalem' series. 'From Daleks and dingy tower blocks to nuclear threats, this addictively readable book charts dizzying change . . . Sometimes moving, often comic, always fascinating' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES How much can change in two and a half years? In the case of Britain in the Sixties, the answer is: almost everything. From the seismic coming of Liverpool's the Beatles to a sex scandal that rocked the Tory government to the arrival at No 10 of Harold Wilson, a Yorkshireman utterly different from his Old Etonian predecessors. A Northern Wind , the keenly anticipated next instalment of David Kynaston's acclaimed Tales of a New Jerusalem series, brings to vivid life the period between October 1962 and February 1965. Drawing upon an unparalleled array of diaries, newspapers and first-hand recollections, Kynaston's masterful storytelling refreshes familiar events - the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Big Freeze, the assassination of JFK, the funeral of Winston Churchill - while revealing in all their variety the experiences of the people living through this history. Major themes complement the compelling narrative: an anti-Establishment mood epitomised by the BBC's controversial That Was The Week That Was ; a welfare state only slowly becoming more responsive to the individual needs of its users; and the rise of consumer culture, as Habitat arrived and shopping centres like Birmingham's Bull Ring proliferated. Multi-voiced, multi-dimensional and immersive, Tales of a New Jerusalem has transformed how we see and understand post-war Britain. A Northern Wind continues the journey. A WATERSTONES, TIMES , TELEGRAPH, NEW STATESMAN , SPECTATOR AND BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR 'Magnificent . . . The early Sixties have never been recounted so well' THE TIMES , BOOKS OF THE YEAR 'A breathtaking array of treasures . . . A book to savour' TLS 'Extraordinarily atmospheric, capturing more than anything a sense of what this moment might have felt like to live through' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Kynaston is the most humane and even-handed chronicler of our time, and the one best-qualified to carry this mightily compelling national story onwards' OBSERVER
