The People's Peace by Kenneth O Morgan

This is the first comprehensive study by a professional historian of British history from Attlee's creation of a welfare society to Thatcher's decade of private enterprise, and her replacement by John Major. Considering such recurrent political themes as the troubled economy, the class divide, and Britain's adjustment to non-imperial status, the book also surveys the cultural changes that saw post-war austerity replaced by Sixties permissiveness, and subsequently by the disillusion and discontent that has characterized the last two decades. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including recently released documents, this is an authoritative and penetrating assessment of Britain in the modern world.
