From New Jerusalem to New Labour: British Prime Ministers from Attlee to Blair [Hardcover]

A stellar collection of contributors consider each British post-war Prime Minister and examine how they have dealt with Britain's changing role, domestic and overseas, since the end of WWII. Even at the start of the 21st century, Britain remains in a state of transition, between a world which is dead and one still struggling to be born.Preface Notes on Contributors Introduction; Vernon Bogdanor Clement Attlee 1945-1951; Paul Addison Winston Churchill 1951-1955; Vernon Bogdanor Anthony Eden 1955-1957; David Carlton Harold Macmillan 1957-1963; D.R.Thorpe Alec Douglas-Home 1963-1964; D.R.Thorpe Harold Wilson 1964-1970, 1974-1976; Philip Ziegler Heath; Philip Ziegler James Callaghan 1976-1979; Kenneth O.Morgan Margaret Thatcher 1979-1990; Keith Middlemas John Major 1990-1997; Vernon Bogdanor Tony Blair 1997-2007; Anthony Giddens ConclusionPAUL ADDISON Honorary Fellow of the Centre for Second World War Studies, Edinburgh University, UKVERNON BOGDANOR Professor of Government, Oxford University, UKDAVID CARLTON Professorial Research Fellow at the Global Policy Institute of London Metropolitan University, UKANTHONY GIDDENS Emeritus Professor, the London School of Economics, UKKEITH MIDDLEMAS Emeritus Professor of Contemporary History, Sussex University, UKKENNETH O.
