A couple of chapters in, this is filling a lot of the gaps I felt were in the first volume - especially around science, industry, and the power struggles in the Labour party in the run up to the 1964 election.

Sandbrook's really not a fan of the Wilson government, eh? Or the idea that anything in the Sixties was new. Getting a tad repetitive now, TBH...

Was walking a lot today, so got through a lot. So far this is engaging me less than the previous volume - but that may be because there's a lot more (pop) cultural stuff in this one, about which I know quite a bit. Fewer surprises. Even the anecdotes - about the Beatles, Kinks, Terrence Stamp, etc etc - are far more familiar, where there were more unfamiliar ones in the last book. Probably just me.
