Andrew Marrs - The Making Of Modern Britain

“A classy new British history…an irresistible watch.” Radio Times

Following on from his award-winning History of Modern Britain, Andrew Marr takes us back to the first half of the 20th Century, one of the most vivid, fast-changing and exhilarating periods in British history. He re-visits the dramas of the Edwardian age, the wild roller-coaster ride of the twenties and thirties and the nation-defining events of two devastating world wars.

From the death of Queen Victoria to the retreat from Dunkirk; from the General Strike to the Battle of Cable Street; from Charlie Chaplin to Rolls Royce; and from the days of Music Hall to D-Day, Andrew Marr takes us on a witty and entertaining tour of this fascinating era when modern Britain was springing into life.
