Summary

Geoffrey Fry offers a challenging new interpretation of one of the most dramatic periods in British political history. From the Great Depression to the end of World War II, Fry assesses the record of British governments--and finds new cause to overturn conventional wisdom about the successes--and failures--of British political leadership at home and at war.
