Wales Since 1939

de Martin Johnes

This book is the first overview of Wales in the period from the Second World War to the early years of devolution. Drawing upon in-depth research, it offers an incisive account of an important phase in British history from the perspective of a nation that is too often overlooked, including topics ranging from the Aberfan disaster, the miners' strikes and the flooding of Tryweryn to the impact of consumerism, rugby and popular music.
