Synopsis
A sweeping look at how British workers organized for reconstruction, peace, and international justice after World War I.

Written for readers interested in labor history, politics, and the humanitarian questions that followed the war, the work connects national struggles with transnational efforts to shape a fairer global system.

- Examines proposed reconstruction policies, wage issues, and governance of industry.
- Discusses labor’s influence on peace aims, democratic rights, and international cooperation.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an instructive analysis of the British labor movement during World War I. At the time of the war's outbreak, this movement had a negligible influence on politics. However, energized by the hardships of the war, the movement quickly grew in size, strength, and confidence. Using this as a base, the author discusses the transformative effect of the war. As the war dragged on, British labor began to assert itself in a way not seen before and used this influence to position itself to have a greater say in the peace negotiations. This book offers essential insights into the power of movements and how even in the worst of times they can overcome obstacles to advocate for what they believe in.
