Forgive the plug, but my new book, Ten Days That Changed The Nation - the Making of Modern Britain, is out today.
Here's what the blurb on the back says:
Sometimes it is not big events or great men or women that change
history. Often, an apparently trivial occasion or insignificant
decision changes everything.
Stephen Pollard's alternative history of
the past sixty years examines ten such crucial days in our history.
None of them are obviously historic. But each of them changed the
country - some for good, others for ill.
