Britain since 1945

About this book

"This is the fifth edition of what has become the standard textbook on contemporary British political history since the end of World War II. This chronological survey discusses domestic policy and politics in particular, but also covers external and international relations. This new edition brings the picture to the present by including the following: a new chapter on Tony Blair's administration including analysis of the London mayoral elections; new material on John Major in the light of the memoirs of Major, Norman Lamont and new work on the Labour party at this time; updated statistical data and tables; and coverage of the 1990s and the start of the twenty-first century."--Jacket.
