About this product
Product Information
A kaleidoscopic history of how the 1960s and 1970s changed London forever Waterloo Sunrise is a panoramic and multifaceted account of modern London during the transformative years of the sixties and seventies, when a city still bearing the scars of war emerged as a vibrant yet divided metropolis. John Davis paints lively and colorful portraits of life in the British capital, covering topics as varied as the rise and fall of boutique fashion, Soho and the sex trade, eating out in London, cabbies and tourists, gentrification, conservation, suburbia and the welfare state. With vivid and immersive scene-setting, Davis traces how 'swinging London' captured the world's attention in the mid-sixties, discarding postwar austerity as it built a global reputation for youthful confidence and innovative music and fashion. He charts the slow erosion of mid-sixties optimism, showing how a newly prosperous city grappled with problems of deindustrialisation, inner-city blight and racial friction. Davis reveals how London underwent a complex evolution that reflected an underlying tension between majority affluence and minority deprivation. He argues that the London that had taken shape by the time of Margaret Thatcher's election as prime minister in 1979 already displayed many of the features that would come to be associated with 'Thatcher's Britain' of the eighties. Monumental in scope, Waterloo Sunrise draws on a wealth of archival evidence to provide an evocative, engrossing account of Britain's ever-evolving capital city.

Reviews
"There is a wealth of information and cogent analysis in this book. It is well-researched with a very full scholarly apparatus. . . .[A] highly entertaining work." ---Alan Clarke, Open History Journal, " Waterloo Sunrise invites us to think in broader, less teleological ways about the terrain of modern Britain. . . . This readable history wears its historiography lightly but is notable for its extraordinarily wide-ranging use of primary sources, and thus its powerful sense of immersive placemaking." ---Lucy Delap, American Historical Review, "John Davis charts the complexities of these important decades in London's recent history with great brilliance .... a sure footed and unrivalled guide" ---Jerry White, Times Literary Supplement, " Waterloo Sunrise, an original, superbly written, and immaculately researched book by John Davis, has the merit not only of being a serious work of social history but also of being one that lifts up the stone to reveal aspects of London life between the early 1960s and the advent of Mrs. Thatcher. . . . Davis is as perceptive in describing the decline of the 1970s as he is in detailing the excitement of London in the 1960s." ---Simon Heffer, New Criterion, "There is a wealth of information and cogent analysis in this book. It is well-researched with a very full scholarly apparatus. . . . [A] highly entertaining work." ---Alan Clarke, Open History Journal, "Davis is a magnificent tour guide for the world he has reconstructed." ---Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, London Review of Books, "This is a book I will be using as a research source for many years to come." ---Geoff Nicholson, Los Angeles Review of Books, "It is one of the pleasures of Waterloo Sunrise that it leaps from race and urban reorganization to fashion and fun. Mr. Davis is a wizard of the archives. The general reader will delight in his excavation of local newspapers in pursuit of treasures that illuminate whatever topic is under discussion, while diligent trawls through government reports are for a more specialized audience." ---James Campbell, Wall Street Journal, "Davis is a magnificent tour guide for the world he has reconstructed" ---Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, London Review of Books, "Like the Kinks classic to which the title playfully alludes, Waterloo Sunrise is infectious, full of human detail, and generous in its narrative sweep." ---Matthew d'Ancona, Tortoise Media, "It is one of the pleasures of Waterloo Sunrise that it leaps from race and urban reorganization to fashion and fun. Mr. Davis is a wizard of the archives. The general reader will delight in his excavation of local newspapers in pursuit of treasures that illuminate whatever topic is under discussion." ---James Campbell, Wall Street Journal, Davis weaves two decades of social, physical, economic, cultural, and political change into a coherent tapestry. . . . A welcome, well-written resource., "John Davis charts the complexities of these important decades in London's recent history with great brilliance .... a sure footed and unrivalled guide." ---Jerry White, Times Literary Supplement, " Within its 434 pages some alchemy turns the drab 1970's into London's apotheosis. . . . I love the book--it's a 400-page plus page turner. " ---Barry Coidan, The London Society, "A beautifully written account of the arrival of trattorias, Carnaby Street, tower blocks and gentrification, as the capital was developed after the destruction of the war." ---Simon Heffer, Daily Telegraph, "John Davis charts the complexities of these important decades in London's recent history with great brilliance. . . . A sure-footed and unrivalled guide." ---Jerry White, Times Literary Supplement, "Like the Kinks classic to which the title playfully alludes, Waterloo Sunrise is infectious, full of human detail, and generous in its narrative sweep." ---Matthew D'Ancona, Tortoise Media, "This is an engrossing, scholarly account of a time when London was in transformation . . . and one that will interest Londoners and non-Londoners alike." ---Martin Chilton, The Independent, " Within its 434 pages some alchemy turns the drab 1970's into London's apotheosis... I love the book - it's a 400-page plus page turner. " ---Barry Coidan, The London Society, "Davis is a magnificent tour guide for the world he has reconstructed. . . . He shows us how London stopped being so boring, what we gained and what we lost." ---Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, London Review of Books

Ordered a workbook. No where in description did it say it was written in. Took 10 days to receive. Contacted seller twice and included photos of the inside of the book and they failed to reply. I’d seriously reconsider purchasing from this seller.

I am SUPER happy with this transaction. I got an epic deal on a less common hardcover. They sold it to me for about $9 and all the others like it are going for about $30. There was no photo but really happy! Mack was ahead of his time, and a beautiful soul, taken too soon. Thank you on this great deal! Looking forward to reading about all these alien encounters, with such a great minds, insight. The book was listed as good and it was indeed in really good condition. Thanks a lot !!
