Britain: Foreign and Imperial Affairs 1939 1964 (Access to History)

This is the sequel to Alan Farmer's book covering foreign and imperial affairs from 1919-39. This new title covers the period from the outbreak of World War II to the coning to power of the Wilson Government. In particular, Britain's relations with Europe, the Empire/Commonwealth and the USA is investigated, and the roles of Churchill, Atlee, Bevin, Eden and Macmillan assessed. The book covers areas which have been the subject of much recent, sometimes controversial study (e.g. Charmley's Churchill biography). It provides the usual "Access" series features, giving extensive student guidance.
