It covers everything from international relations to family life, the countryside to manufacturing, religion to race, and cultural life to political structures. By 1970 the consumer society had supplanted postwar austerity, the socialist vision was fading, and 'the sixties' had introduced new and even exotic themes and values. Having lost an empire, Britain was still resourcefully seeking a role: it had yet to find it.
