An Appetite for Power: The History of the Conservative Party since 1830
How Winston Churchill became ‘the greatest living Englishman’
Winston Churchill enjoyed after 1945 a remarkable reputation as a great man with a unique, historic status, but this did not follow on from the Second World War in a smooth and uncomplicated way. His increasing age and his iconic status as the war leader of 1940 were used by Churchill himself and by his many admirers in order to keep him in the public eye, but other aspects of the man such as his wit, his writings, his painting and his birthday c…
Refocusing ‘The People's War’: British War Films of the 1950s
All societies are faced with questions of identity. These questions are not explicitly posed and the answers given to them are not necessarily only in language, but also constituted through society's activities, its institutions and way of being.

A Party for Owners or a Party for Earners?’ How far did the British Conservative Party Really Change After 1945
THE period spent in opposition between 1945 and 1951 has generally been thought of as a key to the understanding of the activities of the post-war British Conservative Party. Autobiographies of the Party leaders of the time began to appear at the end of the Fifties, already looking back to a period in which the Conservatives had decisively changed their approach. So for example, Lord Woolton's Memoirs reviewed not only a term as Party Chairman wh…
