Labour's War: The Labour Party During the Second World War (Oxford Historical Monographs) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is the first scholarly history of the Labour Party during the Second World War, and offers a fresh look at British politics during the war years. Brooke examines the effect of war upon the party's ideology and policy, the experience in government of Labour leaders such as Clement Attlee and Hugh Dalton, and the tensions produced within the party by the circumstances of war. Brooke's extensively researched and original study calls into question the long-standing belief in an atmosphere of consensus among the political parties, and uncovers the sharp ideological differences which persisted throughout the war years and after.
