4.9/5 (21596 ratings)

Description:Stanley Baldwin dominated British politics for fourteen years and was one of the major Conservative prime ministers of the century, but past historians have either ignored or denigrated him. Yet it is hardly possible to understand the political history of Britain between the wars without a correct reading of his character and achievements. In foreign policy Baldwin had to contend with Mussolini's invasion of Italy, the Spanish Civil War, the rise of Hitler; at home, the General Strike, mass unemployment, the Abdication crisis. Barnes and Middlemas have viewed his political career in the light of the social history of the period by extensive use of political diaries, memoirs and private papers. The vast and largely untapped documentary evidence available to the authors included the newly opened Cabinet archives, and they have made full use of this material to produce a radical reassessment of Baldwin and his age - and an outstanding essay in political biography.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
