The Eclipse of a Great Power - Modern Britain 1870-1992 (Paperback, 2nd New edition)

An updated second edition of a book first published in 1983. Originally stopping in 1975, the book now goes through to 1992, and includes the entire span of the Thatcher years, and the emergence of Europe as a central factor on the national agenda. The additional section brings together both an up-to-date assessment of the recent past and continues the enduring themes explored in the century covered in the first edition.
