Steve Fearon (84 KP) rated A Party with Socialists in It: A History of the Labour Left in Books
Sep 11, 2018
This book is very much a left-wing view of Labour's history, and does a good job of describing the main flag bearers and saboteurs of the worker focused socialist movements.
It helps trace the current Labour makeup back through the ages, via Benn, Bevan etc and gives a very good account of the many internal battles and compromises that took place through the 20th Century as the various power plays and world events echo Game Of Thrones at times.
Its also an important indicator of where power has corrupted idealogues of the past, and how it is often the working people that are the ones that pay the price for hubris (I am looking at you Kinnock!).
One for politico's only, not a casual read, but if you have an interest, do please check it out, there is a lot here to gain!
