Never Again Summary

Never Again: Britain, 1945-51 by Peter Hennessy

This is the first volume of a history of Britain from 1945 to the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. This book covers the years from 1945 to 1951 - an age dominated by the shadow of war - and creates a complete picture of life in Britain, embracing both high politics and everyday experience. The author brings to life such characters as Clement Attlee, Ernie Bevin and Nye Bevan, and relates their respective government's achievements - the establishment of the National Health Service and the reconstruction of the education system among others. The author traces Britain's flirtation with Europe, the debacle with India and the dramas of the Korean War, and contrasts these with social developments in the UK.
