Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Historians of labour in this period have concentrated on pacifism. This study focuses instead on the majorities in both French and British labour movements which supported the war to the end.

Copywriter: include this in European/French History rather than British
This is a comparative study of national labour movements in France and Britain during the First World War. Historians of labour in this period have concentrated on pacifism, and on the post-war radicalism and emergent communism to which that contributed. John N. Horne focuses instead on the majorities in both the French and the British labour movements which continued to support the war to its end. He examines the terms of their support, and the broader working-class experience which this reflected, showing how a critical programme of socialist reforms was gradually developed.
Labour at War is a genuinely comparative analysis, based on intensive primary research in both countries. It is an important contribution both to labour history, and to the social and political history of the First World War.
`a richly detailed and satisfying work - which is not a page too long ... Dr Horne skilfully manages both to control a vast mass of material and to demonstrate how different circumstances produced a similar response. It is an impressive performance.'
John Gooch, The Higher
