| | The War for Utopia: Comments on British ‘Peace Aims’ Literature, 1939-45 |
 | | Regardless of the wartime paper shortage there came from the presses a profusion of model constitutions, planners’ blueprints, economic panaceas, party manifestos, pamphlets from architects and town planners, churchmen, industrialists, social hygienists, hikers and every other special interest group. |
 | | However, although the peace aims debate about the future of Britain and the world was at the very core of wartime politics, scholars have largely neglected both the individual texts of this discourse and its historical importance as a collective phenomenon. |
 | | At the same time, and integral to this discussion, is the issue of the relationship between utopian will and desire and the challenges, opportunities, and barriers presented by the world and the political process. |
