First sentence: In the closing stages of the Second World War, as the military successes of the Allies were reaching the climax of VE Day, there was also an extraordinary effort within the British government machine to look past the ending of hostilities towards a world which would be better ordered than in the pre-war era, and which would address the aspirations released by victories won in the name of democracy.
