Portrait of a Decade (London Life 1945-1955) Douglas Sutherland

Portrait of a Decade (London Life 1945-1955) Douglas Sutherland. This book paints a picture of London after the Second World War. Criminals and cabinet ministers, spies and socialites, journalist, businessmen, artist and actors, the famous and infamous all rub shoulders here. All the bubble and froth of a post-war London re-establishing its social identity is there, but so, too, is an undertone of the weary struggle involved in starting again .
Many black and white photographs e.g. a war time picture of Douglas Sutherland and a recent photograph of Douglas near the end of the book. Sir Winston Churchill and Anthony Eden, Traffic jam in Fleet street 1955, British spies who defected to Russia in the 1950s, Kim Philby, Guy Burgess, Donald Maclean, Sir Anthony Blunt at a Press Conference in 1979 after it was revealed that he too, had spied for the Soviet Union, and much much more.
