It's obvious that Beckett is approaching the subject as a journalist. He gives broad-brush political background, I would guess largely gleaned from secondary sources, but he really comes alive when focussing on individuals, especially interviewing people like Edward Heath, Jayaben Desai, and John Gouriet.
Nothing wrong with that, clearly these individua To some extent, this is a good counterbalance to Dominic Sandbrook's biased, Whiggish Seasons in the Sun.
Nothing wrong with that, clearly these individuals had important roles in what happened. But he gets too wrapped up in describing their houses, what they are wearing, his chats with taxi drivers, what the weather was like when he visited them yes, really!
This would pass in a newspaper, but it's just filler here. The interviews mostly don't tell us anything new either. He also recounts visits to iconic sites like Saltley Gates surprise!
There's nothing there now and Maplin surprise! It's a mudflat. So yes, there's interesting stuff here, but as with Sandbrook's book, I was disappointed with the lack of social and cultural history.
Feminism, for example, is dealt with simply by interviewing one of the founders of Spare Rib. There isn't all that much on the rise of the National Front and the anti-racist movement.
And I was really surprised that he omitted all mention of education, such a controversial topic in that decade. He seems to like colourful characters, so you'd think he would seize on Rhodes Boyson.
And unlike Sandbrook, he minimises mention of Tony Benn, who is all but invisible here. On the plus side, he did do a good job of explaining the Social Contract and demonstrating how the unions shot themselves in the foot with their greed for unsustainable pay rises in and , thus landing themselves with Thatcher.
And we all know how that turned out. It did make me reflect that the "greed is good" ethos was already there in the s -- Thatcher didn't invent it, she just made it into a virtue.
Three and a half stars, rounded up to four. I'm still looking for the perfect book on the s though! View 2 comments.
Apr 26, Geevee rated it it was amazing Shelves: favorites , politics , british-history. Three prime minsters - with one in waiting - take centre stage with many other characters who today remain revered, lamented or downright detested in the nation's consciousness, along with others who have been forgotten by all but a few.
This is a delight to read, and is a fine balance of detail, statistics, political aims and comment that make for a flowing story of when Britain was finding itself juggling change and status quo.
Mr Beckett is able to retell the hopes of grand visions and schemes Three prime minsters - with one in waiting - take centre stage with many other characters who today remain revered, lamented or downright detested in the nation's consciousness, along with others who have been forgotten by all but a few.
Mr Beckett is able to retell the hopes of grand visions and schemes such as a new and never built airport for London and the engineering achievements that saw oil rigs built and working in the hostile North Sea in record time, against a backdrop of industrial strife, power cuts and seemingly all powerful unions.
I also liked the fact that the author had interviewed many of the central characters of his storylines, some now dead so we could read of their adventures and then hear their views years' after the events.
If you remember these days - and I was only a child, where power cuts and parents' worrying about having no coal to heat our house are abiding memories - then this will serve as a fine aide-memoire and perhaps explain or add to the circumstances of your memories.
If you were not born, or were too young to remember the s, then it will give you an understanding of the challenges Britain and Britons faced, and where the legacy of World War Two met modern times and how today - regardless of politics - Britain is a better place to live in, even if there are still many social, monetary and political problems many resurfacing from the s or perhaps never having gone away.
One interesting fact from Mr Beckett's book was that the fusty old men of Government provided a old RAF airfield and agreed to help organise a three-day Free Festival.
The book is worth reading to learn about this episode alone. View all 4 comments. Since the so-called boom in popular history books broke out in the late s with titles such as Anthony Beevor's Stalingrad, consumers of quality narrative history have been spoilt with an array of books on modern history.
Britain in particular has been treated to a distinguished array of titles by the likes of Peter Hennessy, David Kynaston, Alwyn Turner and Dominic Sandbrook.
Andy Beckett's "When the Lights Went Out" is one of the earlier books written on the seventies, and charts dangerous Since the so-called boom in popular history books broke out in the late s with titles such as Anthony Beevor's Stalingrad, consumers of quality narrative history have been spoilt with an array of books on modern history.
Andy Beckett's "When the Lights Went Out" is one of the earlier books written on the seventies, and charts dangerous territory for the unwary historian.
Few decades inspire more division than the seventies, with their politically loaded legacy. Those on the right construct the currently dominant narrative of a decade of decline, with the final exposure of the economic and political bankruptcy of Keynesian-ism and the postwar consensus.
The left pick holes in this narrative in the odd blog and partisan publication but don't enjoy the exposure of being the mainstream view.
Andy Beckett does provide a differing perspective from the mainstream and negotiates the events and interpretations adroitly. He doesn't attempt to nitpick and excuse the problems, but equally he provides understanding and a nuanced investigation of the background.
Part of the reason for this success is the blend of historic narrative and long-form journalism. Although he is a trained academic historian, the inclusion of journalistic devices such as visiting the location of events, and especially his interviews with key figures give great depth and immediacy to his writing.
Some purists no doubt will sneer at this approach but although the evidence of recollection three decades later must always be treated with caution it also offers valuable perspective.
As an example the well written expose of the 'siege of Hull' is all the more powerful for memories such as that of unionist Fred Beach.
However he also goes to considerable effort to understand their backgrounds and motivation. This well written book really offers a very insightful look at the seventies.
It is mostly politically oriented. Beckett is a bit derogatory towards histories that claim to find insights in popular culture, and doesn't focus to any great extent on social history.
I share his reservations about popular culture as a barometer for the state of society and as evidence of wider changes, although it certainly has its place in understanding the milieu of the time.
Aug 26, Simon Wood rated it really liked it. There was also relief that Beckett had jumped in ahead of the irritatingly asinine Dominic Sandbrook, whose tomes on the 's and 60's I found a little on the shallow side.
Unfortunately, by the time I reached the end of the book I felt disappointed. The book hadn't lived up to the promise of its subtitle: "What Really Happened to Britain in the Seventies".
Beckett's method in writing his history is to paint the political scene in broad-brush strokes. These are interspersed with more precise details of specific events often intertwined with retrospective interviews of the personalities involved: from the high and mightily prickly Edward Heath to more modest figures on the historical stage such as the still enthusiastic one time activist from the Grunwick strike, Jayaben Desai.
Certain sections of the book are interesting, though possibly because my knowledge of them was in itself sketchy.
High points included those parts that dealt with the Heath Government, the Free Festival movement, the promise of North Sea Oil and the rise of the free market right Hayek, Friedman, Mises, et al whom became peculiarly attractive to those on the political right as the seventies progressed, or perhaps regressed is more accurate?.
It covers, as is to be expected, a good deal of industrial action and deals reasonably fairly with the Miners confrontation with the Heath government as well as the Grunwick strike.
The account of the "Winter of Discontent" is less comprehensive, focusing almost entirely on Hull and Westminster Hospital.
Apart from that there is a good deal that is fairly standard for histories of the period: Kingsley Amis slabbers over the thought of Margaret Thatcher, Phillip Larkin whinges for middle England and a variety of right-wing think tanks sprout into being.
Another aspect of the book that I found problematic was the over reliance, especially when dealing with the Labour Government of the later 's, on insiders such as Jim Callaghan, Denis Healey, Bernard Donoughue, Gavyn Davies, Peter Jay and oddly enough Bill Rogers, to the exclusion of other dissenting voices in the Labour government.
Beckett compounds this by dealing with these insiders in a less than rigorous manner. The strengths of the book are that it is well written, at times even atmospheric.
While it does burst some myths in particular with regard to the Labour government of it never really gets its teeth into the 's in a systematic manner.
Despite these criticisms it is an interesting read. Dec 12, Maurice Frank rated it really liked it. You have to read several books on the 70s.
No one is definitive, perhaps because of how much history happened, every book seems to leave out annoyingly important items, but different ones!
To piece it together, read and compare several. This book merits to be one of them, for it reveals some impressive insights I have not seen elsewhere.
But definitive and complete this book is not, it disappoints any such claim. It is really really bitty. This book reveals, and describes superbly, how the transport isolation of Hull enabled the TGWU to practically run the city during the Winter of Discontent, I have not read the on the ground detail of this story in any other book, and it is a story I missed at the time by following the wrong media, it did not stand out from the TV news at the time and I was not a tabloid reader.
All the movement of goods in the city was run and permitted by a "dispensation committee" of the strikers, practically a worker's soviet.
It is incredible and serious how for 2 months Hull was practically under revolutionary rule. Anyone whose revulsion at the swing to Thatcherism's opposite extremes by 9 years later makes them reluctant to believe how undemocratically controlling the 70s union militancy was, needs that story.
While that item alone is enough to make this book a significant historical resource, it is a shattering disappointment of incompleteness that the same book could possibly select to never mention the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders' work-in and Jimmy Reid.
That was the 70s' other, and much more famous, experience of workers' control. No consideration either of the whole course of 70s trade union history, or of the Heath government's efforts towards it, stands up without Upper Clyde.
No mention either of the Industrial Relations Courts Heath set up, no detailing of the 5 states of emergency and each strike behind them, yet the author actually interviewed Heath and devotes many pages to it.
Incredible, and while he devotes a whole chapter to the Maplin airport project! His priorities are skewed. Most of all with Heath, he gives too much space, many pages, to quite long potted biographies of some of the key figures, including the 4 Prime Ministers, that involve ghastly turn-off digressions into the 30s and 40s.
If like me you find unbearable, and hate the sight of, the early twentieth century's boastful nostalgia industry that has bashed the young for generations and you want some 70s nostalgia as an antidote to it, don't come near this book, some of its pages will slam you in the face, I want to rip them out.
It is an aspect of the book I strongly dislike. While its introduction poses a good question it intends to illuminate, on why the 70s attract a lot of cultural nostalgia alongside more political bogeying than any other modern era, there is no ending summing up any findings on this.
The book peters out as unsatisfyingly abruptly as the Gospel of Mark. The question is misleading for a book that says very little on most 70s popular culture at all, he only selects to study "declinist" literature and the feminist culture.
As part of making the book's point he should have told the story of punk. Yet he does select to tell very insightfully the story of the hippie inspired free festivals culture, and is a really good source on that, rare for a politics book though it is grassroots political history.
He tells all the stories of the Albion Free State and Wilson's experiment of authorising the Waterfield festival in , much needed refuting of the myth that such things only happened in the 60s.
He details the Green Party's origins, surprisingly right wing involving the Goldsmiths and an alarmist Blueprint For Survival that wanted to reduce the country's population how?!
This book properly explains, unlike some others exactly how the social contract worked, about the Liaison Committee that met at Transport House. Where most books that get lost in the density of economic detail, this one explains clearly, step by step, the history of Labour's annual pay restraint targets, why they went up and down trying and failing to balance with inflation, how it turned the social contract into a government instrument whose impact rightly angered workers, how Callaghan's swing to monetarism made the arrangement break down.
This is history that makes the book well worth reading. Yet its Labour Party history is misleading when it frequently refers to the role of Crosland's philosophy but never tells you he died, nor about Jenkins going to Brussels, nor that Foot was deputy PM.
How dare he give the gravediggers strike, the Winter of Discontent's most totemic detail, only half a sentence's mention!! I agree with other reviewers that he selects out the Winter of Discontent's worst and he should not describe practically only the Westminster hospital and Hull.
The frustrations. Another is that it is a too totally English book. In the 70s more than for a long time before them, England was not the whole story.
He covers the Irish troubles but his only serious nod to Scotland is on Shetland's oil prosperity. It is insulting he does not even name Calton Hill but names many suburbs of London, and that he does not bother at all with Wales's parallel story though Callaghan's seat was there.
That is a history full of shocking holes. It is a Swiss cheese with some cherries. Sep 13, John rated it liked it. Wasn't really the 's history I was after as it focused on the politics of the era although these were admittedly a little more interesting than the anodyne stuff we get nowadays.
I think I was looking for a more social and cultural history and will get around to State of Emergency by Dominic Sandbrook at some point.
Nov 03, fourtriplezed rated it really liked it Shelves: history , britain. Thoroughly enjoyable book. I lived in the UK in the early 70's and this was a bit of a nostalgia trip.
Made one almost want to relive one's youth to see if it was all that I remembered. Apr 06, F. This is a highly political book, with most of the action taking place in the environs of Westminster.
As such, despite a clear and fluid style and numerous amusing anecdotes who knew that in the Wilson government staged a free music festival for hippies?
Apr 05, Nick Stibbs rated it really liked it. Worth reading - an era which I was born into the tail-end of, and source of endless controversies that I've never fully understood.
Obviously Thatcher divides opinion with razor sharp boundaries amongst most people. This guy has a level head and remains pretty objective throughout, tracing the stories that defined Britain politically in the 70's.
Might explain a few things. Particularly enjoyed the way he weaves together all the different political forces that interact and entwined - from Milton Friedman-influenced neo-liberal monetarists, to Marxist miners, to anarchist festival organisers, to One-Nation Tories.
But as a focused study, it does the job well. Nov 20, Jim rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction. Really enjoyed this, and it inspired me to rake over my own personal history once more because, actually, understanding the past does help you relate to the present.
The Seventies is currently undergoing an historical reassessment, usually because people are asking themselves "Was it really that bad? Politics figures large, of course, and that is where the focus of this book lies with a lot more about Jim Callaghan than Johnny Rotten.
Still, as these kind of books go, I felt th Really enjoyed this, and it inspired me to rake over my own personal history once more because, actually, understanding the past does help you relate to the present.
Still, as these kind of books go, I felt that this historian took a refreshing approach - he goes to visit the Wappings, the Falls Road, the slag heaps and slag villages left with them, and interviews all the major figures himself.
You do feel you are with him on a journey into the recent past. Andrew Marr, please note. Hopefully he'll next turn his attention to the Eighties.
Mar 18, Steve Duffy rated it really liked it. I've been reading this again, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time around.
For anyone who lived through the decade in question, this book will be a treasure-trove of remembrances: on almost every page you'll discover something you haven't had occasion to think about in ages.
For those who were a not around in the 70s, or b not in Britain, there's plenty of solid background information in this well-written text.
And even if you were there at the time there are still revelations aplenty I've been reading this again, and I enjoyed it just as much the second time around.
And even if you were there at the time there are still revelations aplenty, as Beckett takes a cool, impartial look at how things fell apart and came together again over the course of ten extraordinary years.
Strongly recommended. Dec 26, Jemma rated it really liked it. An excellent tour of the 70s, including much detail I've not seen before.
You can really feel like you are there experiencing it. From late March through May, Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard hosted a popular solo concert series from his Seattle home, strumming acoustic versions of fan requests and covers, answering questions and peppering his sets with tales from his career.
Sean Bonnette, frontman of the folk-punk band AJJ, also began livestreaming short, nightly performances from his home in Tucson as a substitute for the real-world tour that was abruptly cancelled due to the pandemic.
It was a way to feel a little bit more in control during a time when so many things were outside of our control. Country-punk act Lucero live-streamed a full-band show from an empty Minglewood Hall, a venue in their hometown of Memphis.
Bands with members in separate locations have been relying on video chat services like Zoom for group performances, to varying degrees of success.
Some online shows count on digital ticketing services for admission, much like a traditional concert, while others lean on the generosity of pay-what-you-wish donations, which many artists pay forward to benefit various charities and organizations.
Social media remains a vital tool for performances and communication. Kayleigh Goldsworthy and David Hidalgo Jr.
I never could have predicted an indefinite downtime. Others turned to the increasingly popular tool of email newsletters.
Similarly, Lauren Denitzio of the band Worriers posts band updates and doles out tips and resources on staying productive in their newsletter, Get It Together.
