For over a century, Birmingham has been the second largest town in England, and at the heart of British history. In his enjoyable and thoughtful book, Richard Vinen captures the drama of a small village that grew to become the quintessential city of the twentieth century: a place once synonymous with mass production, full employment and prosperity but which came to a cataclysmic halt in the 1980s.
