The Long Week End

A classic social history by two distinguished writers who lived through the time. The long week-end is the authors'' evocative phrase for the period in Great Britain''s social history between the twin devastations of the Great War and World War II. From a postwar period of prosperity and frivolity through the ever-darkening decade of the thirties The Long Week-End deftly and movingly preserves the details and captures the spirit of the time.
