This book is the first academic survey of Lord Woolton's important
wartime role, first as Minister of Food and then as Minister of
Reconstruction. Using Woolton's Diaries and correspondence
(including letters between Woolton and Churchill), it provides key
insights into how the Ministry of Food managed to operate
undisturbed by wartime bombing out of its main base in Colwyn Bay
while Woolton maintained the propaganda machine for the Ministry
from his base in London. It enables a fuller understanding of the
political decisions on rationing and the constant challenges facing
the Ministry. Also revealed is Woolton's consciousness of the
social impact of rationing decisions, evidenced through
contemporary newspaper reports. The little-known work he did as
Minister of Reconstruction 1943-1945 is also explored, providing a
new background to understanding the setting up of the Welfare State
after 1945. The material is arranged thematically within the book
to enable easy naviagation.
