The Crosland legacy Reviews

"Patrick Diamond has written an exceptionally lucid account of the work and legacy of Anthony Crosland, Labour's outstanding revisionist intellectual. Diamond also demonstrates persuasively the relevance of Crosland's approach for politics today." Giles Radice, Labour Peer and author
"Croslands revisionist credo continues to be a lodestar for Labour Party `modernisers. In this pithy and insightful work Patrick Diamond critically explores the reasons for its enduring legacy." Hugh Pemberton, University of Bristol
"Tony Crosland continues to fascinate nearly forty years after his untimely death. This new study is authoritatively written by someone who was a senior party advisor turned academic and deserves to be read seriously by scholars and activists alike." Kevin Hickson, University of Liverpool
"Crosland was the leading British socialist intellectual of the post-war period. Patrick Diamond has strong claims to be his nearest equivalent today, and this book will be read with hunger by all those who feel the left has lost its way." David Lipsey, socialist peer and adviser to Anthony Crosland 1972-76
"Tony Crosland was a radical revisionist intellectual but Labour through and through. In this important new study Patrick Diamond explores this paradox and the Croslandite legacy for Labour today." Andrew Gamble, University of Sheffield
A most timely and topical study of a politician who was also one of Labours outstanding theoreticians vital reading for all interested in Labours future. Eric Shaw, University of Stirling
