A Decision to Abstain: Labour vs. Hitler, 1936-7, Part 1
Between 1935 and 1937, a major transformation took place within the Labour Party regarding its policies toward rearmament, Appeasement and Hitler. During this time, the Party jettisoned its prior policies of disarmament and collective security through the League of Nations and instead, by 1937, accepted the fact that rearmament was needed if Britain were to stand up to Hitler. Part I of a two part series.

Building a New Jerusalem?: Labour in Power 1945-51, Part II
The post-war Attlee Government (1945-1951)--the first Labour Government to have a working majority--was one of the more important Governments of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, there is great debate among British historians over the level of this importance, and the degree of change the Government effected. This two-part essay illustrates the basic arguments in this extended debate by looking at books by Corelli Barnett, Jose Harris, Kenneth Morgan and David Vincent.
