Labour's War is the first scholarly history of the Labour Party
during the Second World War, and offers a fresh look at British
politics during the war years. Stephen Brooke examines the effect
of war upon the party's ideology and policy, the experience in
government of Labour leaders such as Clement Attlee and Hugh
Dalton, and the tensions produced within the party by the
circumstances of war. Dr Brooke's extensively researched and
original study calls into question the long-standing belief in an
atmosphere of consensus among the political parties. His analysis
uncovers the sharp ideological differences which persisted
throughout the war years and after. He also demonstrates the impact
of the war on the development of Labour's socialism. The Labour
victory in the 1945 election remains one of the most significant
turning-points in modern British history, setting Britain on a new
course, towards the welfare state and the managed economy. The book
is an important contribution to our understanding of how this came
about.
