The People's Peace by Kenneth O Morgan
The People's Peace provides the first comprehensive study for the general reader of British history from 1945 to the present in a single volume. Kenneth Morgan examines the transformation of post-war Britain from the planning enthusiasm of 1945 to the ethics of Thatcherism. Well-known as a Labour historian, he gives an assessment of Thatcherism within the context of post-war politics.
a tour de force of narrative compression.. authoritative, readable and skilfully evocative of the mood of different periods * John Campbell, The Times *
Kenneth Morgan's account of the Suez crisis and Macmillan's wretched performance in it is masterly ... Often our historians have been our best prophets, and it is good to see Oxford upholding that splendid, iconoclastic tradition. * Michael Foot, Guardian *
