The third edition of this text brings the story of British history up to the general election of 1997, the end of the Thatcherite era and the 18-year period of Conservative domination. This edition is specifically designed to help Advanced Level students and undergraduates; all the chapters contain new material, taking into account the latest research and the most recent interpretations, and there are new chapters and sections. The book contains A Level style-questions, some of which are taken from A Level papers. The general reader may also find the book informative and should find the source material enlightening.
