Launched on a wave of euphoria in 1981, the SDP aroused the hopes
and enthusiasm of millions of people. Promising to break the mould
of British politics, its leaders included four of the most
respected figures in British public life - Roy Jenkins, David Owen,
Bill Rodgers, and Shirley Williams. But the SDP failed. Despite
winning with the Liberals a quarter of the vote in two general
elections, by the autumn of 1987 it had disintegrated amidst
acrimony and bitter in-fighting. This book, based on unprecedented
access to the SDP's archive and extensive interviews with all the
leading players, chronicles the party's short but turbulent history
and analyses in detail the reasons for its early success and its
ultimate demise.
