How Britain ended the war
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Peter Hennessy is one of Britain's leading political historians and journalists and this work is one of the finest examinations of Britain in the post-WWII world, both in terms of the elites and the ordinary citizen. Hennessy has a real talent not only for sorting out and assembling the hard dry facts, but also painting portraits of the leading figures of the Atlee government. While Atlee himself remains remote (as he was in life), Cripps, Ernest Bevin, and Dalton all emerge as fascinating figures. There are few books written on post war Britain that are as well researched and as compelling as this one.
