A Classless Society: Britain in the 1990s by Alwyn Turner
4.0
While I voted in the 90s, my main information came from The Time, The Place and Official PlayStation Magazine. This is a really good catch-up on what went on politically, and it reassuringly reveals that basically no-one read the Maastricht Treaty, so I can forgive myself for not really knowing what it was at the time.
Outside of politics, there is some slightly unconvincing cultural analysis - the popularity of Terry Pratchett and Harry Potter indicate a surge in interest of different types of spirituality, apparently - and it feels a little disconcerting that the most quoted source is Drop the Dead Donkey. But the political story it tells is fairly compelling.
