Copywriter: include this in European/French History rather than
British This is a comparative study of national labour movements in
France and Britain during the First World War. Historians of labour
in this period have concentrated on pacifism, and on the post-war
radicalism and emergent communism to which that contributed. John
N. Horne focuses instead on the majorities in both the French and
the British labour movements which continued to support the war to
its end. He examines the terms of their support, and the broader
working-class experience which this reflected, showing how a
critical programme of socialist reforms was gradually developed.
Labour at War is a genuinely comparative analysis, based on
intensive primary research in both countries. It is an important
contribution both to labour history, and to the social and
political history of the First World War.
