This is the first detailed scholarly study of conscription in the
years immediately following the Second World War, when for the
first time in Britain introduced conscription. L. V. Scott examines
the military reasoning behind conscription, and then shows how
opposition to National Service grew in the changing economic
circumstances of post-war Britain. He explores the party politics
of National Service and examines how the Labour Party previously
bitterly opposed to conscription, came to pass the 1947 National
Service Act. The book examines how National Service was essential
to the defence and foreign policies of the Attlee governments, and
became one of the foundations of the post-war consensus on
Britain's security.
