Reseña del editor

Thorpe's book is widely seen 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 legacy of the Blair government.
