The Politics of War: 'Guilty Men' and British Identity
This chapter explores the impact of the book 'Guilty Men' on wartime political discourse and the Conservative Party's attempt to reshape narratives surrounding British identity during World War II.

The discussion also examines historical perspectives and the implications of military strategy on post-war governance and the British Empire's future.
