What is Ready, steady, go! : swinging London and the invention of cool about?

"For a few years in the 1960s, London was the coolest city on earth: a spontaneous, dizzying stew of pop music, fashion, film, scandal, drugs & sex, crime, the avant-garde underground and the tabloid obsession with fame. The rest of the world watched in awe." "Snaking through the scene were the characters that made the city: gangsters, comedians, actors, journalists, pop bands, film makers, art dealers and models. For a few, brief years, thanks to a combination of talent, luck, timing and geography, they dominated the world scene like nothing before. London was buzzing." "Ready, Steady, Go! recreates the whole show and contrasts a series of emblematic lives with the great events that shaped the time. Shawn Levy, author of Rat Pack Confidential, shows how the city re-invented cool and then seemed to lose its swing altogether."--BOOK JACKET
