Product Description
A Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year
"[This volume] lives us to [the] high expectations of the series of Blackwell Companions. Informed, wide–ranging and up–to–date syntheses cover what might be regarded as standard subjects like the Second World War... and the transformation of the British economy. More importantly, there are chapters on topics ignored by most histories of Britain; for example ... the suburbanization of Britain, sport and youth culture."
History
"A definitive textbook for contemporary British history. Its breadth of subjects is compelling, and the quality of its contributions ... superb, with many subjects dealt with by authors able to pour a career’s worth of groundbreaking research into their introductory surveys. Praise must be given for a consistently informative volume, which places so many interpretations and discussions in one place. Overall, Addison and Jones can congratulate themselves for editing a superb collection, one that can reasonably lay claim to being the foremost textbook on contemporary British history."
