Explore 'The Labour Governments 1964-1970 Volume 2', a critical examination of Britain's international policies during the transformative Labour era of the 1960s. This essential paperback, released by Manchester University Press in 2008, provides a comprehensive analysis of the key events that shaped Britain's position on the global stage under Prime Minister Harold Wilson and his government. Delve into topics like defence policy, European integration, NATO, and the Vietnam War, as author John Young utilizes newly available archival evidence to present a more nuanced perspective on the challenges these governments faced.

This book is more than just a recount of political history; it critically evaluates the decisions made during a time when Britain was navigating economic weakness and military decline amidst Cold War tensions. Young's insights reveal the complexities behind what often seemed like unfulfilled promises from Wilson's government. Not only does this volume shed light on Vietnam, but it also discusses other critical conflicts like Aden, the Nigerian civil war, and Rhodesia, illustrating how these international pressures influenced domestic policies.

Students, historians, and enthusiasts of British history will find this book crucial for understanding the long-lasting impact of the Labour governments’ international strategies. Combined with the other volumes in this series focusing on domestic and economic policy, it provides a holistic view of governance during an extraordinary period in British history.

Description:


This book is the second in the three volume set The Labour governments 1964-1970 and concentrates on Britain's international policy under the Labour governments in the 1960s and is available for the first time in paperback.

The coverage ranges from defence policy and the government machine to European integration, NATO and the Vietnam war. Harold Wilson and his ministers have often been accused of betraying the sense of promise that greeted their victory in 1964. Using recently released archival evidence, John Young argues that a more balanced view of the government will recognise the real difficulties that surrounded decision-making, not only on Vietnam, but also on Aden, the Nigerian civil war and Rhodesia.

Economic weakness, waning military strength, Cold War tensions and the need to placate allies all placed limits on what a once-great but now clearly declining power could achieve. Furthermore the government proved of pivotal importance in the history of Britain's international role, in that it presided over a major shift from positions East of Suez to a focus on European concerns, a focus that has remained until the present day.

The book will be of vital importance to students of British history and international relations during this exciting period. Together with the other books in the series, on domestic policy and economic policy, it provides a complete picture of the development of Britain under the premiership of Harold Wilson. -- .

Works great and is affordable!
Color: Black
Works great! The magnet it comes with is quite weak. But the tool itself works great.

No gimmicks, just a solid WDT tool
Color: Metal Black
This is the second Aieve product I’ve purchased, after a very good experience with their XL espresso cooling ball. This WDT tool isn’t flashy, it doesn’t look like a praying mantis or deploy like a switchblade; but it does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The tool sits in a nicely weighted base that protects the needles from bending, which is a big improvement over the magnetic “floating” styles. The base has enough weight to stay put, and it’s easy to remove and return the tool without it tipping or sliding around. The base itself fits nicely in my tamping station. It also comes with replacement needles, which are simple to swap out when needed. If you’ve been going down the rabbit hole comparing every WDT tool out there, this is a straightforward, well-designed option at a very reasonable price.

Solid 4mm WDT tool with a solid stand and a magnet option for some machines.
Color: Black
Solid WDT tool with good hand feel and convenient counter top stand. 4mm needles and it works fine. 10 of these 4mm needles adequately stir the espresso in the portafilter. No real complaints about build quality. I attached the included magnet. There are many people who have identified that the magnet is not strong. This is true but it depends on the materials on your espresso machine or grinder. On stainless steel units (unpainted or thinly painted) it has good adhesion. On units that might have used thick paint ( which shouldn't be compromised) it may not stick well. So I took a star off--I do have a stainless steel Espresso machine and it sticks fine. It also stuck ok to my refrigerator , microwave and airfryer. If your espresso station is near other appliances---well there you go--also it does show that it "can stick" to fairly common other magnetic materials. My refrigerator is coated in white . I was going to simply buy acupuncture needles, a wine cork and make one of these but add those costs together and heck $9 for this unit with a stand was a great deal.

Great little tool

It’s a cheap tool but can actually make an impact on the coffee. Been using for a few months and still works great.

Great purchase!
Color: Black
I’ve been using the Aieve WDT Tool for a bit now, and overall I really like it. There was definitely a learning curve at first. It took me a little time to figure out how to use it in a way that actually improved my puck prep instead of just stirring the grounds around. Once I slowed down and found a consistent motion that worked for me, I really started to see the difference in distribution. Build-wise, I know some people have mentioned the stand falling off. Personally, I haven’t had any real issues with it unless I’m the one who bumps it and sends it flying. If it’s staying put and I’m not being clumsy, it’s fine. I’m using the magnet side to stick it right to my Breville, which has been super convenient. It keeps everything within reach and makes my workflow smoother. For the price, it’s been a solid addition to my espresso setup, especially now that I’m getting the hang of it.
