This book examines how World War II British politicians and officials planned a comprehensive postwar settlement to remedy the inadequacies exposed in the interwar years; how that settlement was implemented in conditions very different from what its authors had imagined; and why, after 15 years, it had become so criticized that the Macmillan government tried to recreate its essentials by novel means suited to the 1960s.
