Download or read book Postwar British Politics written by Peter Kerr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-07-26 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh view of postwar British politics, very much at odds to the dominant view in contemporary scholarship. The author argues that postwar British politics, up to and including the Blair Government, can be largely characterised in terms of continuity and a gradual evolution from a period of conflict over the primary aims of government strategy to one of recent relative consensus. This book provides a provocative and challenging account of the historical background to the election of the Blair Government and will be of interest to a wide audience.
