Britain since 1945: The People's Peace is the first comprehensive study by a        professional historian of British history from 1945 to the present day. It examines        the transformation of post-war Britain from the planning enthusiasm of 1945 to the        rise of New Labour. Its themes include the troubles of the British economy; public        criticism of the legitimacy of the state and its instruments of authority; the        co-existence of growing personal prosperity with widespread socialinequality; and        the debates aroused by decolonization, and Britain's relationship to the        Commonwealth, the US and Europe. Changes in cultural life, from the puritanical        'austerity' of the 1940's, through the 'permissiveness' of the 1960s, to the        tensions and achievements of recent years are also charted.Using a wide variety of        sources, including the records of political parties and the most recently released        documents from the Public Records Office, Kenneth Morgan brings the story right up        to date and draws comparisons with the post-war history of other nations. This        penetrating analysis by a leading twentieth-century historian will prove invaluable        to anyone interested in the development of the Britain of today.
