Blue Jerusalem

The story of how the post-war Labour government under Clement Attlee re-fashioned Britain is a familiar one. This is the alternative story of how the Conservatives envisioned Britain's post-war future, revealing the bold, at times utopian, plans that British Conservatives drew up for Britain and the post-war world.

From That Small Island

Who are the Irish? Where did they come from? Where did, and do, they go? 6 million people live on the island of Ireland, but 80 million people worldwide say they are Irish. What does this mean? From That Small Island is a global, ambitious retelling of Irish history exploring how Ireland has shaped and been shaped by world history.
