In The People's Peace , Kenneth Morgan--who has won wide acclaim as one of the finest historians of twentieth century England--paints a richly detailed portrait of British social and political history from the end of the Second World War up through the rule of Margaret Thatcher. "In forty-four years," he writes, "the British had yet to recover from victory in the Second World War, even though the Germans and Japanese had so manifestly recovered from defeat." In this sweeping account of British history since 1945 he shows why as he ranges from the dramatic collapse of the British Empire to the Suez Crisis, from the foundation of the welfare state to the rise of the conservative politics that swept the nation in the 1980s. Morgan also provides an insightful look at the changing popular culture, from the golden age of cricket to the massive adulation of the Beatles, as well as rising consumerism, permissiveness, and the ugly racism that met the tide of African, Asian, and Caribbean immigrants. Comprehensive, insightful, and wonderfully written, The People's Peace offers a fascinating and definitive look at post-war Britain.
