The fourth edition of this book takes the story of British history from 1815 right through to Tony Blair’s resignation in 2007. It is ideal for students taking AS level and A2 level examinations, and for undergraduates as a general intro-duction to the period. All the chapters contain new material, taking into account the latest research and the most recent interpretations, and there are new chapters and sections. I hope too that the general reader will find the book informative and interesting, especially as it requires no previous knowledge. For this edition, the questions based on source material can be seen on the accompanying website at www.palgrave.com/masterseries/lowe2.

Once again I am grateful to my friends, Glyn Jones, formerly Vice-Principal of Bede College, Billingham, and Michael Hopkinson, formerly Head of History at Harrogate Grammar School, for their helpful suggestions and advice; to my wife, Jane, who read the entire manuscript and was able to save me from many errors and infelicities of style; and to Suzannah Burywood of Palgrave Macmillan for her patience, encouragement and unfailing good humour. Finally, I would like to thank Keith Povey and Elaine Towns for their help and their careful editing.
