A History of the British Labour Party Bewertungen

'Thorpe's new edition reads very well. It is lively and provides students and general readers with excellent detail and analysis, offering a thorough understanding of the sweep of the Labour party from 1900 to the present.' - Peter Stansky, Stanford University, USA 'Andrew Thorpe's updated account of Labour in and out of power is a judicious, balanced, and impressively comprehensive overview of the party from the pioneering Keir Hardie to the power-wielding Gordon Brown. It remains a valuable aid to any student of Labour history.' - Adrian Smith, University of Southampton, UK '...for those who want the facts about the Labour party, this book is a handy, even indispensable reference.' - Joe Haines, Tribune
