"Modern Britain" focuses on two major periods of British history: the interwar period and the postwar Britain. The authors compare and contrast developments in the two periods, dealing with themes such as growth and welfare, industry, labor, social policy and the economy. Combining a narrative approach with a conceptual and analytic approach, "Modern Britain" provides an end-of-century review of progress and decline, as well as an essential background to current polemics and major issues of concern. Clearly structured and written, this is an invaluable book for those interested in Twentieth century British history.…mehr
