Fifty years on: a prejudiced history of Britain since the war

By Roy Hattersley

Book Overview

This history of Britain since the war chronicles the main shifts in ideas and attitudes, changes in social structure and industrial performance and the influence of world events on Britain's economic prospects and international status. Examining how Britain has changed in the past half-century, it is written as a narrative in, more or less, chronological order. It is the anatomy of a journey that has taken the country from a post-war concensus on welfare to a new belief in individual enterprise.
