Governing Post-War Britain cover

Glen O'Hara draws a compelling picture of Second World War Britain by investigating relations between people and government: the electorate's rising expectations and demands for universally-available social services, the increasing complexity of the new solutions to these needs, and mounting frustration with both among both governors and governed.

'Governing Post-War Britain is a good contribution to scholarship about post-war Britain, exploring the shifting policy debates about international influence, the Anglo-American relationship and social reforms.' - European Review of History
