The United Kingdom has been at the heart of global history for
centuries - as a conqueror, an engine of international trade, and a
symbol of modernity. It was the first industrial nation, the centre
of the world's biggest empire, and the home of an enduring and
influential parliamentary democracy. Since 1945, the UK has faced
unprecedented challenges as it has come to terms with the loss of
great power status, the surrender of its colonial territories, the
decline of its staple industries, and growing pressures threatening
to tear apart the union holding together England, Wales, Scotland,
and Northern Ireland. In this book, Adrian Bingham guides readers
through the key developments in British post-war history to reveal
how the nation was shaped by the legacies and lessons of the past.
The UK has become a more diverse, pluralistic, and mobile society,
but it remains one struggling to come to terms with its changed
position in the world, and unable to reach consensus around a
vision for the future.
