In the case of Britain in the Sixties, the answer is: almost everything. From the seismic coming of the Beatles to a sex scandal that rocked the Tory government to the arrival at No 10 of Harold Wilson, a prime minister utterly different from his Old Etonian predecessors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Northern Wind\u003c\/i\u003e, the keenly anticipated next instalment of David Kynaston's acclaimed \u003ci\u003eTales of a New Jerusalem \u003c\/i\u003eseries, brings to vivid life the period between October 1962 and February 1965. Drawing upon an unparalleled array of diaries, newspapers and first-hand recollections, Kynaston's masterful storytelling refreshes familiar events - the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Big Freeze, the assassination of JFK, the funeral of Winston Churchill - while revealing in all their variety the experiences of the people living through this history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMajor themes complement the compelling narrative: an anti-Establishment mood epitomised by the BBC's controversial \u003ci\u003eThat Was The Week That Was\u003c\/i\u003e; a welfare state only slowly becoming more responsive to the individual needs of its users; and the rise of consumer culture, as Habitat arrived and shopping centres like Birmingham's Bull Ring proliferated.
