This comprehensive study examines British shipbuilding and
industrial relations from 1870 to 1950, addressing economic, social
and political history to provide an holistic approach to industry,
trade-unionism and the early history of the Labour Party. Examining
the impact of new machinery, of independent rank-and-file movements
and of craft and trade unions, The Tide of Democracy provides an
authoritative account of industrial action in shipyards in the
period and their effect on the birth and development of the Labour
Party. This volume is clearly presented, elegantly written and
suffused with a distinctly human touch which brings the technical
material to life. Unique in the combined attention it gives to
Scottish and English history, and drawing upon an impressive range
of primary sources, this volume will be indispensable for
specialist researchers, undergraduates and postgraduate students.
