Opis

The Labour governments of 1945-51 are among the most important and controversial in modern British history, and have been the focus of extensive research. In this study, Pearce attempts to make the results of this research available in concise and accessible form, at the same time encouraging students to formulate their own interpretations. He looks at the main political personalities of the period, sets their work in the context of Labour history since 1900, and examines their domestic, foreign and imperial achievements.
