In the decades following Europe's first total war, millions of
British men and women looked to the League of Nations as the symbol
and guardian of a new world order based on international
co-operation. Founded in 1919 to preserve peace between its
member-states, the League inspired a rich, participatory culture of
political protest, popular education and civic ritual which found
expression through the establishment of voluntary societies in
dozens of countries across Europe and beyond. Embodied in the
hugely popular League of Nations Union, this pro-League movement
touched Britain in profound ways. Foremost amongst the League
societies, the Union became one of Britain's largest voluntary
associations and a powerful advocate of democratic accountability
and popular engagement in the making of foreign policy. Based on
extensive archival research, The British people and the League of
Nations offers a vivid account of this popular League consciousness
and in so doing reveals the vibrant character of associational life
between the wars. -- .
