The 1930s

The 1930s saw Britain at its most unstable, suffering depression, unemployment and hunger marches, flirtation with fascism and the abdication of its monarch. Yet by the decade's end the nation was at its most united under a new King, with a new leader in Churchill, and ready to face its greatest challenge yet in the Second World War. These stories and many more are illustrated in the pages of this book through 300 unique period photographs.
