In this title, Cronin covers the full history of the Labour party from its post-war triumph through decades of shambolic leadership against ruthless and organised opposition to the resurgent New Labour of the 90s that finally took Britain into the new millennium.

Understanding New Labour’s past is essential to understanding its ideology, strategy and actions in government. James E. Cronin addresses this past in order to assess the meaning and significance of New Labour, whether it constitutes an effective model for European social democracy, and why it has pursued such an aggressive foreign policy and been so committed to the `reform’ of the public services.

James Cronin is Professor of History at Boston College, USA.
