Austria 1970-2020 is one of several country surveys that Gretton Books 
is publishing during 2024 under the overall rubric of ‘1974 Fifty Years On’.
The surveys developed from the positive reception that greeted our 2020 publication ‘1974 – A World in Flux’ by Joe Brydon.
The aim of the series and each country survey is to provide a social, historical, political and cultural analysis over a fifty year period. Each of the surveys is written primarily for those aged 16-24 (the next generation) and appropriate for those soon to start, or already at, college or university, but is expected to appeal more widely as well.
