Description
Winston Churchill and the Conservative Party had bold visions for Britain's post-war future. This radical re-interpretation of British history reveals the imaginative and courageous plans they drew up for Britain and the world. From proposals for world government to a more united Empire, Churchill's Conservatives were as ambitious as their Labour and left-wing opponents in their wartime plans. Their alternative visions of Britain's post-war world are brought back to life in this study of political thinking and manoeuvre. It goes beyond the usual suspects to reveal a hitherto lost world of British Conservatism and a set of forgotten futures that continue to shape our world. By examining the political decisions behind Britain's war, this book restores politics to the centre of the story of Britain's war. It challenges the notion of a 'people's war' and explores how the Tories used their control of the home and battle front to fight a deeply Conservative war.
