Recenzii

Martin Pugh's State and Society has become something of a classic of its type: its punchy, provocative prose makes it the first book on any list of recommendations to students new to studying British political history.
State and Society continues to engage the reader thanks to the ambition, relevance, and clarity of its coverage. But its bold avoidance of fence-sitting also means that, six editions in, there is still much to chew over.
Pugh's State and Society remains an outstanding overview of Britain from the 1870s into the 2020s, weaving together politics, economics, and social life. State and Society is engagingly written, offering a rigorous and critical view of the period, and it is a must-read for students of citizenship in Britain.
