What is Britain Since 1789 : a Concise History about?

Using the latest historical research, Martin Pugh presents an accessible, concise and yet wide-ranging analysis of the factors that shape Britain. He examines the emergence of an organised Labour Movement, the post-1914 decline of the Liberals and the establishment of the Welfare State. He considers the survival of the Conservatives as the major governing party of the twentieth century and sheds light on British policy abroad - from the importance of the French Revolution to the trend towards decolonisation since the Second World War.. "His study culminates in an evaluation of the dilemmas facing Britain at the end of this century following the collapse of consensus politics, the rejection of Thatcherism, the emergence of New Labour and the reappraisal of Britain's relationship with Europe.
