Britain since 1945 is the established textbook on contemporary British political history since the end of the Second World War.

• Tony Blair's resignation and Gordon Brown's accession to power
• immigration
• the financial crisis from 2007: the first bank run in Britain since 1866
• the 'Special-relationship' with the US and Obama
• the 2010 General elcetion and the first coalition government since 1945
• 'Broken Britain'  and Crime
• the era of ‘owned by China'

Britain since 1945 is essential reading for any student of contemporary British history and politics.
