Woloch assesses the progressive agendas that crystallized in each of the three allied democracies, tracing their roots in the interwar decades, their development during wartime, the struggles to establish them after the war's end, and the mixed outcome in each country. He adds the United States to a discussion that is usually focused solely on Europe and argues that the postwar moment deserves a more prominent place in the history of progressive politics. --Adapted from publisher description. 001390227 648_7 $$aSince 1900$$2fast 001390227 650_7 $$aPolitics and government.$$2cct 001390227 650_7 $$aPolitics and government.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919741 001390227 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$y1945- 001390227 651_0 $$aFrance$$xPolitics and government$$y1945- 001390227 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y20th century. 001390227 651_7 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$z1945-$$2cct 001390227 651_7 $$aFrance$$xPolitics and government$$z1945-$$2cct 001390227 651_7 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$z20th century.$$2cct 001390227 651_7 $$aFrance.$$2cct 001390227 651_7 $$aGreat Britain.$$2cct 001390227 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2cct 001390227 651_7 $$aFrance.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204289 001390227 651_7 $$aGreat Britain.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204623 001390227 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001390227 651_7 $$aGreat Britain$$xPolitics and government$$y1945-$$2nli 001390227 651_7 $$aFrance$$xPolitics and government$$y1945-$$2nli 001390227 651_7 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y20th century.$$2nli 001390227 852__ $$agen$$hJN 231$$i.W65 2019 001390227 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1390227$$pGLOBAL_SET 001390227 980__ $$aBOOK 001390227 980__ $$aBIB 001390227 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
