Last Time. Labour's Lessons from the Sixties

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Slight crease to corner front cover. The parallels between last time and Labour's progress to power today are striking. In this book those who played the key roles in Labour's great election victories of 1964 and 1966 describe their techniques for winning, the way in which Labour governed dynamically on a small minority to build up support and win its bigtgest majority since 1945, and the key role played by Harold Wilson as an energetic, modernising leader who brought Labour back into tune with the national mood, let it to victory - but then threw it all away. This book chronicles Labour's triumphs and failures of the sixties. it shows how the great victory turned sour in the face of economic difficulties and how Wilson failed to seize the moment to ensure the economic growth on which Labour's success depended, then as now. In four years of the ineteen sixties Labour went from triumph to tragedy. This book chronicles that dramatic process, in the world of whose who took part, to point the lessons for New Labour so it can avoid the mistakes old Labour made in the sixties. 246 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
