War and Progress by Peter Dewey

This is an account of how the daily lives of ordinary peoples were changed, profoundly and permanently, by these three momentous decades 1914-1945. Often depicted in negative terms Peter Dewey finds a much more positive pattern in the wealth of evidence he lays before us. His is a story of economic achievement, and the emergence of a new sense of social community in the nation, rather than a saga of disenchantment and decline.

'This is social and economic history at its best'

Contemporary Review

'This is probably one of the most comprehensive, concise and magisterial surveys of Britain's economic history between 1914 and 1945 written since World War II'
