Review of the first publication:
‘…very clear, very compelling, and very helpful in clarifying a central problem to twentieth century British history…the book brings into thematic focus and explains a range of issues and debates that are otherwise very difficult to comprehend, since they are scattered through an immersive bibliography divided by period and problem.’
— P. Addison, University of Edinburgh
