Taking one event from each decade of the 20th century, he visits the places where history happened and still echoes down the years. Stuart goes to Orgreave and Windsor, Wembley and Wootton Bassett, assembling a unique cast of Britons from Sir Edmund Hillary to Sid Vicious along the way.It’s quite a trip, full of sex and violence and the occasional scone and jigsaw. From pop stars to politicians, Suffragettes to punks, this is a journey around Britain in search of who we are.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nA very engaging writer with a remarkably broad frame of reference ―\u003cbr\u003e\nMail on Sunday\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n...compelling and often witty insight into the customs and mindsets of overlooked corners of Britain ...
