Opis: Managing Domestic Dissent in First World War Britain - Brock Millman, B Millman

The author argues that the way the British Government managed dissent during World War I is important for understanding the way that the war ended. He argues that, from humble beginings in 1914, a comprehensive and effective system of suppression had been developed by the war's end in 1918, with a still greater level of suppression prepared but not implemented. The general characteristics of the system of dissent manage ment were that it was incremental, growing in proportion to the degree of apprehended threat to the war effort; it never became more repressive than a working consensus of the population was prepared to tolerate; and it was calculated to be effective against the particular nature of British anti-war dissent. Britain's relative success in containing dissent was a major factor behind Britain's ultimate victory, it is argued - outlasting rather than outfighting Germany.War and dissent, 1914-1915; McKenna at the Home Office, August 1914-May 1915; Simon at the Home Office, May-December 1915; Samuel at the Home Office, 1916; a society turning against itself; the battle of Cory Hall - "by any means necessary short of murder"; the British governments control of the public in the First World War; the secret methods used to suppress dissent; the Lloyd George solution; Leeds, Stockholm and after; the National War Aims Committee; 1918; towards the abyss.
