But was Brexit really a surprise, or are there clues in Britain's history that pointed to this moment? In A History of Britain : 1945 to the Brexit, award-winning historian Jeremy Black reexamines modern British history, considering the social changes, economic strains, and cultural and political upheavals that brought Britain to Brexit. This sweeping and engaging book traces Britain's path through the destruction left behind by World War II, Thatcherism, the threats of the IRA, the Scottish referendum, and on to the impact of waves of immigration from the European Union. Black overturns many conventional interpretations of significant historical events, provides context for current developments, and encourages the reader to question why we think the way we do about Britain's past"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aSocial change$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aSocial change$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y21st century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yElizabeth II, 1952- 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yGeorge VI, 1936-1952 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1945- 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial conditions$y1945- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 615 0$aSocial change$xHistory 676 $a940.085 700 $aBlack$b Jeremy$f1955-$0144601 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467941403321 996 $aA history of Britain, 1945 to Brexit$91973539 997 $aUNINA
