Fifty years have provided two wars, countless revolutions, a world slump, the rise and fall of the dictators, and scientific and technical advances on an unprecedented scale. During this time England has become more fully a democracy, has pioneered the concept of the Welfare State, and laid the foundations of a multi-racial Commonwealth. In this volume of the Pelican History of England the late Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, has not only managed to stand back from the times: he has also accomplished an extraordinary feat of compression and, in describing an age of revolution, underlined the significance of continuity.
