We don't. This radical re - interpretation of British history and British Conservatism between 1939 and 1945 reveals the bold at times utopian plans British Conservatives drew up for Britain and the post - war world. From proposals for world government to a more united Empire via dreams of a new Christian elite and a move back - to - the - land Blue Jerusalem reveals how Conservatives were every bit as imaginative and courageous as their Labour and left - wing opponents in their wartime plans for a post - war world. Bringing these alternative visions of Britain's post - war future back to life Blue Jerusalem restores politics to the centre of the story of Britain's war. It demonstrates how everything from the weapons Britain fought with to the theatres in which the fighting took place and the allies Britain chose were the product of political decisions about the different futures Conservatives wanted to make. Rejecting notions of a 'people's war that continue to cloud how we think of World War II it explores how the Tories used their control of the home and battle front to fight a deeply Conservative war and build the martial imperial and Christian nation many that many of a Conservative disposition had long dreamed of. A study of political thinking as well as political manoeuvre Blue Jerusalem goes beyond an examination of the usual suspects - such as Winston Churchill and Neville Chamberlain - to reveal a hitherto lost world of British Conservativism and a set of forgotten futures that continue to shape our world.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Blue Jerusalem British Conservatism Winston Churchill And The Second World War\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Kowol Dr Kit\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780198868491\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 352 Pages, 0\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 11\/8\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Political Parties","brand":"Kowol Dr Kit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51332952850737,"sku":"IN-G-9780198868491","price":43.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9780198868491.jpg?v=1754874127","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780198868491-blue-jerusalem-british-conservatism-winston-churchill-and-the-second-world-war","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
