When the Lights Went Out by Andy Beckett
'A necessity if we want to understand now as well as then.' Hanif Kureishi The seventies are frequently misunderstood, oversimplified and misrepresented. When the Lights Went Out goes in search of what really happened, what it felt like at the time and where it was all leading - through vivid interviews with leading participants, from Edward Heath to Jack Jones to Arthur Scargill - and brings the decade back to life in all its drama and complexity.
Andy Beckett is a Guardian columnist. He has also written for the Economist, The New York Times magazine, the London Review of Books and the Independent on Sunday. His books include Promised You A Miracle, When the Lights Went Out and Pinochet in Piccadilly.
