In the past ten years or so there has been a remarkable growth of interest in Britain's recent past. Right-wing popularisers, such as Correlli Barnett, John Charmley and Andrew Roberts, inspired by Thatcherite politics, have produced a stream of polemics. Meanwhile liberal and academic historians have been left in the stalls. This book aims to rectify the absence of a left-wing version of history since the Second World War. Structured chronologically, it follows the broad phases of government since 1939 - the Attlee years, the Churchill government, the Eden and Macmillan governments, the Wilson years, the 1970s and the Thatcher Years. Leading historians in their particular fields take issue with recent right-wing accounts of the period and propose a coherent alternative of Britain's history since the Second World War.

The Second World War was, for Britain, a 'total war'; no section of society remained untouched by military conscription, air raids, the shipping crisis and the war economy. In this comprehensive and engrossing narrative Angus Calder presents not only the great events and leading figures but also the oddities and banalities of daily life on the Home Front, and in particular the parts played by ordinary people: air raid wardens and Home Guards, factory workers and farmers, housewives and pacifists. Above all this revisionist and important work reveals how, in those six years, the British people came closer to discarding their social conventions than at any time since Cromwell's republic. Winner of the John Llewellyn Rhys prize in 1970, The People’s War draws on oral testimony and a mass of neglected social documentation to question the popularised image of national unity in the fight for victory.

This book is the first major study of the blackout in the Second World War. Developing a comparative history of this system of civil defense in Britain and Germany, it begins by exploring how the blackout was planned for in both countries, and how the threat of aerial bombing framed its development. It then examines how well the blackout was adhered to, paying particular regard to the tension between its military value and the difficulties it caused civilians. The book then moves on to discuss how the blackout undermined the perception of security on the home front, especially for women. The final chapter examines the impact of the blackout on industry and transport. Arguing that the blackout formed an integral part in mobilising and legitimating British and German wartime discourses of community, fairness and morality, the book explores its profound impact on both countries.
