Thane deftly covers enormous ground, offering the reader both an authoritative survey of modern British history and important insights into its social dimensions especially … Divided Kingdom will find a welcome audience among undergraduates, for whom it will be an invaluable companion. Each chapter contains a number of sections, organized around easily digestible themes and moments, providing points of reference traceable back and forth through the book.'
