Britain Since 1945 - A Political History
David Childs

Britain since 1945 is the established standard textbook on contemporary British political history since the end of the Second World War. This authoritative chronological survey discusses domestic policy and politics in particular, but also covers external and international relations. The fifth edition of this important book brings the picture to the present by including the following additions: 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; in-depth coverage of the 1990'5 and the start of the twentieth century. Britain since 1945 provides a concise and lucid history of Britain from post-war to the prescrit day for all students of contemporary British history and politics.
