Description
World War II had far-reaching effects on British politics, culminating in Labour's famous 1945 election victory. In this study of the Churchill coalition, the author challenges many long-held assumptions about war-time politics. Dr Jefferys questions the notion of consensus as a guiding theme in the war years. He argues that Britain's post-war settlement - the new welfare state and mixed economy - was the product of events after, rather than before, 1945.
