Empire lost : Britain, the dominions and the Second World War

documentary heritage
  • Other Name

    Britain, the dominions and the Second World War (Alternate title)

    Britain, the dominions and the 2nd World War (Alternate title)

  • Description

    "Using official government records, private letters and diaries, and contemporary media sources this book examines the key themes that affected the relationship between Britain and the Dominions during the Second World War. It considers why this coalition was ultimately successful in helping overcome the challenge of the Axis powers yet, in the process, proved unable to preserve itself.

    The conclusion it reaches is that the changes that took place were actually inevitable but for many within Westminster and Whitehall, the two bastions of British power, they proved almost too dramatic to fully comprehend."--Book jacket.
