This volume provides documents to evaluate claims that the war introduced a sense of social solidarity and social idealism which led to a consensus on welfare state reform. It provides evidence on crime, race relations and anti-semitism, women, health and the family, in addition to examining the Blitz, evacuation and the making of social policy.
