Britain since 1945: The People's Peace
Fluid, neutral and interesting - but for someone interested in the economic history of the country this could be a disappointment. The figures for employment, debt or trade that helped define policies are served plain without enough details of the problems that arose at the time. The book is essentially a political history from the view of each prime-minister in the post-war period (till 1989). It reads more like biographies woven together with changing political climate. Although neither the title nor the intro of the book makes any pretensions of it being an economic history, I feel that a richer socio-economic analysis of the past is relevant to modern history writing.
