Books That Defined the 1990s

The 1990s was a slippery old decade to define. Concertinaed between the Cold War and the War on Terror, it has been dubbed "the holiday from history" – a decade of relative peace and prosperity, free from the existential angst of decades past. No global conflicts to speak of (notwithstanding Blur vs. Oasis, of course), no economic doom to wallow in, no Margaret Thatcher.
