This book, by the author of the best-seller 'Winston Churchill' , is a concise reassessment of the first postwar British Governments based upon original sources - a task not previously attempted by any scholar. While sympathetic to Labour's aims in the 1945 general election campaign - which itself receives fresh treatment - Henry Pelling exposes areas of difficulty and weakness in the Government's strategy and uncovers the doubts and hesitations of its leaders. Much of the evidence comes from official papers recently released to the Public Record Office; but the private papers of Attlee, Morrison, Bevin and Dalton, among others, have been drawn upon to add details to the story. For the first time, too, there is a study of the importance of Marshall Aid, as well as of the friction that is occassioned behind-the-scenes with the Truman Administration and the US Congress. Highly readable, this book makes a major contribution to recent history and to a better understanding of the present political and international situation.

A Short History of the Labour Party is the classic account of the rise of the Labour Party from its foundation through to Tony Blair's second term as Prime Minister. Thoroughly revised and updated, it describes the events that led to the inception of the party, the role of the trade unions within the party, the successes and failures of the twentieth century and the revival of the party's fortunes under Kinnock, Smith and then Blair. It closes with an analysis of the current crisis that the Party faces over its foreign policy choices since 9/11 including the war in Iraq. This book thus provides the essential background for an understanding and appreciation of today's political debates.

Der vorliegende zweite Band, der das Werk abschlieBt, gibt eine Ubersicht iiber die Verfahrenstechnik der Erdolverarbeitung und deren physikalische und chemische Grundlagen. Wahrend der erste Band neben einer Einfiihrung in die Mineralolchemie umfangreiches Zahlenmaterial iiber physikalische und technische Daten der in der Mineraloltechnik vorkommenden Stoffe bringt, solI der zweite Band dem konstruierenden und planenden Ingenieur ein Wegweiser fiir die Berechnung von Apparaten und Anlagen sein. In den Kapiteln, die den einzelnen Phasen der Mineralolverarbeitung gewidmet sind, wurden die wesentlichen Grundoperationen (unit operations) behandelt, wobei auf die rechnerische Seite besondere Sorgfalt verwandt wurde. Auf aIle wichtigen Fortschritte und Neuerungen der letzten Jahre wurde Bedacht genommen und die Literatur so weit beriicksichtigt, als es bei der gewaltig anschwellenden Zahl von Veroffentlichungen iiberhaupt moglich ist. Bei der Zitierung von Literatur beschrankten sich die Verfasser bewuBt auf das Wesentliche. Sie konnten dies um so eher tun, als ausgezeichnete Literaturzusammenstellungen regelmaBig veroffentlicht werden. Es sei hier nur auf die "Symposien" in der Zeitschrift "Industrial and Engineering Chemistry" verwiesen und auf die "Fortschrittsberichte der Verfahrenstechnik," die von der Ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Abteilung der Farbenfabriken Bayer herausgegeben werden. Den Anregungen von Fachkollegen, das Werk auf die Untersuchung und Verwendung der Mineralole auszudehnen, konnte nicht entsprochen werden, da dies den Rahmen des Werkes gesprengt hatte. Aus dem gleichen Grunde sind auch einige Sondergebiete, wie etwa die MaB-und Regeltechnik, nicht aufgenommen worden, da sie einerseits zuviel Platz beansprucht hatten und andererseits kein Mangel an hervorragenden Monographien auf diesen Gebieten besteht.

The Great Depression of the 1930s was more than an economic catastrophe to many American writers and artists. Attracted to Marxist ideals, they interpreted the crisis as a symptom of a deeper spiritual malaise that reflected the dehumanizing effects of capitalism, and they advocated more sweeping social changes than those enacted under the New Deal.

In Radical Visions and American Dreams, Richard Pells discusses the work of Lewis Mumford, John Dewey, Reinhold Niebuhr, Edmund Wilson, and Orson Welles, among others. He analyzes developments in liberal reform, radical social criticism, literature, the theater, and mass culture, and especially the impact of Hollywood on depression-era America. By placing cultural developments against the background of the New Deal, the influence of the American Communist Party, and the coming of World War II, Pells explains how these artists and intellectuals wanted to transform American society, yet why they wound up defending the American Dream. A new preface enhances this classic work of American cultural history.
