Robbins, Churchill, Jefferys, War & Reform - British Politics During The Second World War

Abstract

Half a century after the end of the Second World War and the Labour Party landslide election in the summer of l945, scholarly interest in Winston Churchill's wartime leadership and British domestic politics during the war has never been greater than it is today. These two books under review offer students and teachers alike different approaches to a better understanding of Great Britain in the twentieth century-the effects of two world wars, the postwar social welfare legislation, diminished great power status, and the climax and decline of the British empire.
