The Pendulum Years (Paperback)
Britain and the Sixties
Bernard Levin
First published in 1970, The Pendulum Years argues that many of the striking features of the preceding decade stemmed from an underlying tension between the pull of the past and the pull of the future. Coruscating and often hilarious, it is an unparalled examination of epochal times.
Bernard Levin is clever, cunning, savage and often brilliantly and cruelly witty… few public events with disgraceful aspects escape his corrosive pen.'
It is brilliant. It is all true. A remarkable achievement, done in language that cries out to be read aloud and with a wit that even the victims may recognise.
