Description
David Edgerton's Warfare State Britain, 1920-1970 presents a fresh perspective on one of the greatest states of the twentieth century. By re-examining the relationship between science, technology, and the military, Edgerton challenges conventional accounts that focus on the welfare state and British decline.
This book is the culmination of Edgerton's long-standing research, which seeks to restore militarism, science, and technology to the history of twentieth-century Britain. The result is a thought-provoking alternative account that sheds new light on the development of the British state during this period.
