The seventies. No decade in Britain’s modern political history has been more important, more compelling and more condemned. The seventies saw strikes that destroyed governments, the rise of Margaret Thatcher, the IMF crisis, the three-day week and the Winter of Discontent. Yet the seventies have often been misunderstood and misrepresented. WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT moves beyond the traditional bleak view of the decade and shows the seventies afresh. It includes candid interviews with key political players, many of them now dead, from Edward Heath to Jack Jones to Arthur Scargill. It also unearths the stories of the forgotten figures away from Westminster who gave the period so much of its excitement and significance-from the Gay Liberation Front to the first British environmentalists, from early feminists to hippy anarchists. And it shows a decade full of new possibilities as well as disasters and dead ends. This book tells us what life feels like when politics really matters. It restores to the British seventies their true vividness and complexity. And it casts a new light on the British crisis of today.
