ABSTRACT
General works - purporting to cover the main aspects of the subject are numerous, particularly for the period down to 1945. Among larger works W. N. Medlicott, Contemporary England, 1914-64 deals with both foreign and domestic problems, political and economic, and covers the post-1945 era. The Labour party is well catered for with G. D. H. Cole's sober and detailed record, A History of the Labour Party from 1914 and Carl F. Brand, The British Labour Party, which some prefer. Lord Avon's memoirs make full use of Foreign Office papers, and the last chapters of Lord Strang, Britain in World Affairs give a mature professional assessment. Marwick, Britain in the Century of Total War, 1900-67 is a long and interesting study of social progress resulting from the two wars.
