Beginning on August 4, 1914, the day Britain entered the Great War, this book guides us through three decades of unparalleled upheaval and change in Britain that eventually lead to the defeat of Japan in 1945--a momentous event that marked the end of the Second World War. Twin themes of international conflict and mass unemployment in England predominate. And besides a full account of foreign and domestic politics that were enacted to deal with them, Taylor pays particular attention to the impact of events on everyday lives.

Book was as described, but the description didn't include the Edition Number, so I received the First Edition instead of the Second Edition. May I suggest that in the appropriate description area, you mention which Edition it is? Otherwise, the book was as described, fulfillment of the order was timely, and I would say that it was an over-all good experience.
