Product Description

This new edition thoroughly revises Britain: Industrial Relations and the Economy, but also adds substantially to the first edition. There is a wide-ranging and yet detailed account of the General Strike of 1926, assessing responsibility for the conflict, explaining why it was so short-lived and examining its effects. There is also an analysis of British economic fortunes during the period. Now, for the first time, there is coverage of social issues – including the impact of war on society, standards of living, class, leisure and the changing position of women. It shows the years 1900-39 to be a period rich in incident and variety, and of profound historical importance and interest. The updated study guides provide a firm basis for answering differentiated, source-based and extended-writing questions.

Customer Reviews

Very useful from a teacher's perspective
'Domestic Politics 1918-'39' is a very good text suitable for A Level students studying this period. It is a well documented account of the inter war years. It offers essay titles and suggested essay plans, evidence based questions, hints on note taking from the various chapters and overviews of the major developments. The information is put simply in language that students of this age can understand! Also worthy of mention is his book 'Britain; Industrial Relations and the Economy, 1900-'39.' Both texts have proved to be useful teaching tools, although students who expect to achieve higher grades at this level should be encouraged to unertake further additional reading to supplement this book.
