1996. Britpop ruled the airwaves. The tabloids framed reality long before Instagram. Football was finally coming home. Tony Blair was learning to play rock star - and rock stars were learning they could play politics. Everyone was partying hard, and Britain was the coolest place on earth.

Showbiz reporter Dominic Mohan wasn't watching the party from afar - he was in the room.

Backstage at Knebworth with Oasis. In strip clubs with Robbie Williams. On the phone to Bowie. On the receiving end of Spice Girls gossip, Gallagher gobbiness and tabloid-era chaos. From Euro '96 euphoria to Brit Awards anarchy, from rave culture to New Labour, Mohan witnessed the moment the UK went from scruffy indie island to global cultural powerhouse.

Part memoir, part cultural autopsy and part riotous tour through the 90s and its greatest year, 1996 is a jaw-dropping front-row seat to the madness, the music, the football, and the politics that reshaped Britain - and created legends along the way.

Three decades on, Mohan returns to the year everything peaked, and asks: what the hell happened, why did it matter, and can it ever happen again?

If you were there - this book will feel like going home.

If you weren't - you'll wish you had been.
