Title: Parliament and politics in the age of Churchill and Attlee
Description: "The period covered in this volume opens with appeasement and the growing shadow of war in the 1930s. The diary contains a vivid account of politics and strategy during the Second World War from the threat of invasion in 1940, through victory in North Africa in 1943, to growing fear of Russia's advance in 1945. After a break, the diary resumes in 1947 with the Labour government facing the bitter winter and economic pressure. It concludes with the coming of the Cold War and the Conservative recovery of 1950-51."--BOOK JACKET.
