BORN IN THE 30s

The 1930s came in with the Great Depression and went out with World War II. But amid the political upheavals and social unrest, it was a decade that saw many traditions shaken to their foundations and new thinking taking centre-stage, from the abdication of Edward VIII to the launch of BBC television. In this book the black-and-white contrasts of this revolutionary decade are captured vividly in words and pictures.
