Paul Addison's influential study examines the political transformation of Britain during the Second World War and the events that led to Labour's landslide victory in the 1945 General Election. Challenging traditional interpretations, Addison explores the wartime coalition, the emergence of the welfare state, the changing relationship between Churchill and Attlee, and the shifting political attitudes of the British public. Widely regarded as a landmark work of modern British political history, it remains an essential reference for students of the Second World War and twentieth-century Britain.
