Since 1945 Great Britain has gone through many changes: the loss of an empire, economic decline & resurgence, entry into Europe, evolution into a multicultural society, & devolution, to name only the more obvious. In this book, six distinguished historians each take a theme
- politics, international relations, high, middle, & low culture, social & economic policies, the nature of civil society, & Ireland
- & set out the fundamental nature & development of each. These are set within the wider context of the Cold War, & its impact both internationally & domestically; of the impact on politics, economics & foreign policy of the decline of the pound & the attempts to arrest this; & finally, of the growing impact of Europe.
