Reviews

Praise for previous editions: '...for those who want the facts about the Labour party, this book is a handy, even indispensable reference.' - Joe Haines, Tribune 'This remains the leading text of its kind, updated with some important new material' - Robert Crowcroft, The University of Edinburgh 'Thorpe provides an accessible and well-written evaluation of the ups and down of the Labour Party since 1900. Students of both politics and history will find this a rewarding and enjoyable read as will members of the Labour Party.' - Timothy Heppell, University of Leeds 'Thorpe writes in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring that his work will appeal not only to students of political history but also to a much wider audience seeking to understand the changing fortunes of the Labour Party.' - Emma Bell, Universite de Savoie Mont-Blanc in Cercles 'Jeremy Corbyn's remarkable victory in last summer's leadership contest has reignited historical interest in the British Labour Movement. There is plenty in Andrew Thorpe's admirably lucid, recently updated History of the British Labour Party to help us better understand the party's present travails.' - Patrick Diamond, Queen Mary University of London, in The Times Literary Supplement
