Description

A vibrant snapshot of British pop culture since 1962!

Sixty years ago, England underwent a cultural revolution, trading tea and crumpets for a sexy secret agent, a band from Liverpool, and a mini skirt. This "little square book" celebrates that transformation, covering everything from James Bond to AstraZeneca, Bowie to Banksy, and even After Eight mints and the Teletubbies.

From the eccentric to the ultra-conservative, The British Invasion! captures the essence of British cool. Relive the swinging sixties and beyond with this illustrated guide to the icons, trends, and moments that defined a nation. Perfect for Anglophiles and anyone curious about the forces that shaped modern Britain.

About the Author

Herve Bourhis was born in Touraine in 1974.

Best known for his books on music, such as " The Little Book of Rock" or " The Little Book of Black music" , he has been the author of around thirty graphic novels since 2002.

He alternates between contemporary or even political stories with books for young people or humorous ones. He also alternates between fiction and the historic-pop-patchwork, of which he invented a personal form in 2007 with "The Little Book of Rock," an illustrated chronology of rock culture since its origins translated into eleven languages.
