1996: The year that shaped a generation, revisited three decades on by Ex Sun Editor, Dominic Mohan

1996 a year that shaped a generation – all the glamour, glitz and grit of the 1990s relived, by the man who lived through it all, Ex Sun Editor, Dominic Mohan.

From the death of Kurt Cobain, to the birth of Britpop, Mohan forensically examines the era when you could truly come as you are. 1996 follows the year when all elements of British culture; music, politics, football, fashion, food, art and media collided spectacularly, allowing Britain to reclaim it's title as the artistic center of the world.

Mohan looks back (without anger), through the lens of his insider perspective, at the decade where records sold in their millions, rock icons made friends in politics and no one knew what an iPhone was.

Drawing on interviews from major 90s icons and legends, 1996 is an authoritative account of the pivotal period that saw the biggest artistic bomb in the nation since the swinging sixties. This book tells the story of one of the most influential eras, with keen observations, reflections and exclusive content throughout.
