This is a classic account, first published in 1935, of the dramatic upheaval and political change that overwhelmed England in the period 1910-1914. In addition to providing an account of the end of the House of Lords' absolute veto over legislation (as a result of the Lords' intransigence on the issue of Irish Home Rule), the book chronicles the sudden rise to power and influence of the women's suffrage movement, the upsurge in working-class militancy, and the bitterly fought Irish question.

Work Description
Its a book about England in the decade immediately preceding the outbreak of WWI, and it argues that the country was far from being peaceful and undisturbed, but was actually on the brink of social breakdown, potential large scale insurrection and civil disorder. Its written rather emotionally - the author was a journalist not an historian. But its very interesting as the view from 1935 of the period before the catastrophe of WWI
