Surveying the vast changes in the character of British society since the 1940s, Addison shows how a series of peaceful revolutions has transformed the country - from a manufacturing economy to one founded on finance, from a predominantly working-class to a predominantly middle-class society, from homogenous nation to multicultural state. The comparative peace and growing prosperity of the second half of the 20th century, he contends, have been 'more powerful solvents of tradition' than the Somme or the Blitz.
