Margaret Thatcher's Revolution of 1979? (book review) Margaret Thatcher was one of the more important Prime Ministers of the twentieth century, particularly the second half. While it is too early to fully assess or begin to assess (in my opinion) the effect of her premiership, this extended essay of books by Kenneth Harris, Hugo Young, Kenneth Minogue and Michael Biddess, and Peter Jenkins offers a starting point for what is <i>now</i> a very tentative and incomplete historical account, but what will eventually be further completed by historians. margaret thatcher • thatcherism • influence • british society

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.

Italian Government Crisis: Revenge of the Dwarves The crisis of the Prodi-government and the new cabinet of Massimo D'Alema (DS), the first former communist Italian prime minister... In 28 months Romano Prodi's Olive-coalition (center-left) had led Italy from an almost hopeless financial situation to become a fully respected partner in European Currency Union. Then a coalition crisis caused by the Communists and a negative confidence vote in parliament forced the successful prime minister to step down. Unwilling to face new elections, the major government forces proposed an enlargement of their coalition to forces of the right center, excluding at the same time the most unreliable part of the Communist Party. New prime minister Massimo D'Alema is the first ex-communist leader to govern in a Western European country. The circumstances of this crisis highlight the reasons for the enduring political instability in postwar Italy, a country that has seen 55 different governments in 53 years. massimo • d'alema • romano • prodi • italy
