Paperback. Condition: Good. The years immediately after World War II were a turbulent and crucial period which shaped the Britain of today but was dominated by the shadow of war. This book offers a picture of life in Britain which embraces both high politics and everyday experience, and provides an account of the Labour Government's achievements, notably the establishment of the National Health Service and the construction of the Welfare State. Tracing Britain's ambivalence towards Europe, the dramatic transfer of power in India and the overstretching of the economy at the time of the Korean War, the author contrasts these with social developments at home. Winner of the 1992 Duff Cooper Prize and shortlisted for the 1993 NCR Book Award, this is the first volume of a history of Britain from 1945 to the beginning of the 21st century.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. One of our finest contemporary historians and a hugely respected academic and author, Peter Hennessy has a wealth of knowledge and experience to draw on and uses it to illuminate his own appreciation of Britain's postwar experience. Distilling the Frenzy examines Britain's place in the world - the perceived diminution of its power as well as its remaining potential for influence; it also dissects the networks and operations that underpin national policy while at the same time offering insights into the public actions and hesitations of individual Prime Ministers from Attlee to Cameron. In this updated edition, which uses new material released from government archives, Hennessy provides an expert account of the constitutional factors in play if the electorate produces a hung parliament in 2015. An independent crossbench peer, Hennessy brings to bear his singular perspective on postwar British history using a whip-smart, vivid turn of phrase that energises events on each and every page. Lord Hennessy of Nympsfield is the Attlee Professor.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. In Leading Matters, current Chairman of Alphabet (Google's parent company), former President of Stanford University, and "Godfather of Silicon Valley," John L. Hennessy shares the core elements of leadership that helped him become a successful tech entrepreneur, esteemed academic, and venerated administrator. Hennessy's approach to leadership is laser-focused on the journey rather than the destination. Each chapter in Leading Matters looks at valuable elements that have shaped Hennessy's career in practice and philosophy. He discusses the pivotal role that humility, authenticity and trust, service, empathy, courage, collaboration, innovation, intellectual curiosity, storytelling, and legacy have all played in his prolific, interdisciplinary career. Hennessy takes these elements and applies them to instructive stories, such as his encounters with other Silicon Valley leaders including Jim Clark, founder of Netscape; Condoleezza Rice, former U.S. Secretary of State and Stanford provost; John Arrillaga, one of the most successful Silicon Valley commercial real estate developers; and Phil Knight, founder of Nike and philanthropist with whom Hennessy cofounded Knight-Hennessy Scholars at Stanford University. Across government, education, commerce, and non-profits, the need for effective leadership could not be more pressing.
