Description:Fifty years on, the Second World War continues to fascinate. Apart from the drama of military and diplomatic developments, the war years had far-reaching effects on British politics. Conservative dominance, deeply entrenched between the wars, was shattered as the Labour Party swept to a famous victory in the 1945 election. At the same time, the foundations were laid for a new social order - the welfare state and the mixed economy.In this, the first major study of the Churchill coalition for several years, the author challenges many long-held assumptions about British politics in the period between 1939 and 1945. Drawing on a range of unpublished sources, he challenges the notion of consensus as a guiding principle of politics in the 1940s and argues that wartime coalition masked the continuance of profound disagreements about the future direction of economic and social policy. Reconstruction barely proceeded beyond the planning stage before 1945, and the welfare state became fully established - amidst fierce controversy - only after Clement Attlee had become Prime Minister.This revisionist study will be of considerable interest to political historians and particularly to undergraduate students of modern British history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
