Each book covers a five-year span, telling the stories of a number of people who, in that time, stood out among their contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs the 1920s progressed and Britain tried to recover from the horrors of war, the country enjoyed a short postwar boom - seeing the development of household gadgets such as dishwashers, sterilisers and cigar lighters - but it did not last and soon unemployment grew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Pugh shows in this book that despite the 'swinging twenties' being largely a myth, the decade was enlivened by mouldbreaking characters such as birth control pioneer Marie Stopes, father of the BBC John Reith, and Horatio Bottomley - perhaps the biggest business fraudster of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57535950455158,"sku":"9781785782091","price":19.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_40206470.jpg?v=1774283506","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781785782091-headline-britons-1921-1925","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
