The Skeptic Isle

Based on a massive array of overlooked primary sources, The Skeptic Isle presents a fast-paced narrative of the British attempt to sell World War II to its citizens. It weaves together government public relations, media reporting, political maneuvering, and the public's response to reinterpret some of the most famous moments of British history, from Chamberlain and appeasement to Churchill's great speeches, from the Battle of Britain to the military campaigns in the Mediterranean and Western Europe, from food rationing to the Beveridge Report.

The Fires of Moloch

A study of the clergymen contributors to the 1917 book, The Church in the Furnace, exploring their approach to ministry before the war; how the war did or did not change them; what they said during the war about how the Church and society needed to change; and how they lived out their lives and ministries after the war.

Trust and Distrust

Mark Knights offers the first overview of Britain's history of corruption in office in the pre-modern era, 1600-1850. Drawing on extensive archival material, Knights shows how corruption in the domestic and imperial spheres interacted, and how the concept of corruption developed during this period, changing British ideas of trust and distrust.
