About this book

STEP into 1975 through original Daily Mirror reports of the time. This Historic Newspaper book offers a unique lens on a year shaped by inflation, innovation, and shifting global power. Britain votes to remain in the European Economic Community. Strikes grip public services. Inflation soars above 20 percent.

In Westminster, the Labour government faces growing pressure. Across the Atlantic, the Vietnam War ends with evacuation. In orbit, American and Soviet astronauts shake hands. In Europe, democracy spreads as authoritarian regimes fall.

At home, Concorde takes flight. Early computers enter the workplace. Betamax changes television habits. Microsoft is founded. A new digital age begins.

Ali wins in the ‘Thrilla in Manila’. The West Indies lift the first Cricket World Cup. Queen dominate the charts with Bohemian Rhapsody. Fawlty Towers airs. Punk takes root in small clubs. A new sound, and a new era, begins.

This book is an ideal gift for birthdays, special occasions, or history enthusiasts. Choose from a range of covers and personalise your copy with a name and message to create a unique keepsake.
