A History of the British Labour Party by Andrew Thorpe

A History of the British Labour Party by Andrew Thorpe

Thorpe's book has established itself as the best single-volume study of the whole of the Labour party's history. Now thoroughly updated in the light of ongoing historiographical debates, this third edition brings the story up to the present with new and revised chapters on the development of 'New Labour' and the previous Blair government.

'Thorpe's new edition reads very wellIt 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
