Posted by: on Oct 1, 2001 | No Comments

A unique source of reference, the Dictionary of Labour Biography brings together in one volume biographical portraits of all the men and women who have made major contributions to the history of the Labour Party – from the founding fathers of the party to the current luminaries of New Labour.

Here are all party leaders from Keir Hardie to Tony Blair; every Labour Cabinet minister, past and present; thinkers from R.H. Tawney to Anthony Giddens; policy-makers from the Webbs to Ed Balls and David Miliband; organizers, trade union leaders, campaigners; and rebels and mavericks from Victor Grayson to Woodrow Wyatt and Derek Hatton.

With some 150 contributions writing about over 300 individuals, the Dictionary of Labour Biography is the most authoritative and accessible work of its kind ever published.
