Description
A comprehensive history of the British Labour Party from its formation to 2014. Andrew Thorpe's study provides an in-depth analysis of the party's successes and failures, including its rise to second-party status and remarkable recovery from its problems in the 1980s. The book covers the entirety of the party's history, examining the reasons for its formation, its aims, and the main events and personalities that have shaped it. With a thorough revision of the previous edition, this new version brings the story up to date, including Gordon Brown's period in office and the Labour Party under Ed Miliband. This authoritative study is an essential resource for students of political history and anyone looking to understand the development of one of Britain's major political parties.
