About this title

Synopsis

Why has a party that has achieved so much nonetheless spent so much of the twentieth century in opposition? Labour's First Century is the only book that assesses this anomaly. Written by a team of acknowledged experts, it covers a wide range of key issues, from economic policy to gender. Their essays challenge those who minimize the party's contribution and explain why mistakes and weaknesses have occurred. Everyone interested in British political history--whether supporters or opponents of the Labour Party--will need to read Labour's First Century.

Review

"Labour's First Century, along with the Brivati/Heffernan volume and Andrew Thorpe's 1997 history, provides the best possible understanding of the party's development into a major force in British politics." History: Reviews of New Books

"these books are in fact useful additions to existing accounts of the party's development." Albion
