The term 'Defiant Modernism', it is argued, describes well a historical
epoch of enormous change as the technologies developed during the
Second World War were exploited in war and thereafter adapted for
civilian use. The period can be seen as stretching from the Munich crisis
of 1938 to the student uprisings of 1968.
