About This Book
"The Struggle for Civil Liberties: Political Freedom and the Rule of Law in Britain, 1914-1945 traces the hostile response of the executive and judicial branches of government to the various groups and individuals who confronted the power of the State in the first half of the twentieth century: the wartime peace movements, the Communist Party of Great Britain, the striking trade unionists in 1926, the hunger marchers in the 1930s, and the Irish Nationalists.
In addressing these issues, the study has a loud contemporary resonance, by placing in a new historical context the struggles for civil liberties that have been and are being conducted by radical groups in contemporary British Society, and during the Thatcher decade in particular."--BOOK JACKET.
