After 13 years in power, Labour suddenly returned to being the party
of opposition in 2010. This new edition of A History of the British
Labour Party brings us up-to-date, examining Gordon Brown's period in
office and the Labour Party under the leadership of Ed Miliband.
Andrew Thorpe's study has been the leading single-volume text on the
Labour Party since its first edition in 1997 and has now been
thoroughly revised throughout to include new approaches. This new
edition: - Covers the entirety of the party's history, from 1900 to
2014. - Examines the reasons for the party's formation, and its aims.
- Analyses the party's successes and failures, including its rise to
second party status and remarkable recovery from its problems in the
1980s. - Discusses the main events and personalities of the Labour
Party, such as MacDonald, Attlee, Wilson, Blair and Brown. With his
approachable style and authoritative manner, Thorpe has created
essential reading for students of political history, and anyone
wishing to familiarise themselves with the history and development of
one of Britain's major political parties.
