Step back in time to 1964, a year of profound cultural upheaval and political transformation. From the soaring heights of the Civil Rights movement in the United States to the global phenomenon of Beatlemania, this was a year that left an indelible mark on the world. While Britain's new Labour government promised the "white heat of technology," the world stage witnessed the intensification of the Vietnam War, Nelson Mandela's life imprisonment, and the ongoing brinkmanship of the global arms race. Brand-new subcultures clashed at Margate beach, where thousands of Mods and Rockers engaged in heated debates over their differing values. Meanwhile, London's Carnaby Street shone brightly as the epicenter of fashion, attracting women with its iconic designs and empowered by changing social sensibilities and rising hemlines.
In this captivating tapestry of historical events, cultural trends, and personal anecdotes, Christopher Sandford unveils the full and vibrant story of the year that ushered in the modern era.
