Synopsis

This uniquely extensive and comprehensive text brings 125 years of Britain's political, economic and social history to life. Illustrated with original cartoons and documents, and making good use of contemporary quotes, it is written in a coherent and accessible style which is intended both to inform the reader and stimulate discussion. Each chapter gives an in-depth survey, which explores key issues within the topic and ends with a controversies' section which outlines recent trends and debates in historical interpretation. The authors have produced a treatment of British history over the last century which sets politics against the appropriately wider cultural, economic and social contexts. Aiming at objectivity in their analysis, they have synthesized from a complex and diffuse mass of material the key elements in the evolution of the society in which we live today.
