Summary:HAVING IT SO GOOD During his exploration of late 1950s and early 1960s Britain, Professor Peter Hennessy finds a country that was relishing the fruits of affluence, but where doubts about the economy's ability to deliver the goods were already setting in. The coming of advertisements to British television, the first race riots, the anti-nuclear Aldermaston marches and the sensation caused by 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' ushered in the 60s, while the rapid exit from Empire and the decision to join Europe were to transform Britain's role in the world.
