This volume presents biographies, written by academics and
journalists, of the leading figures in the history of the Labour
Party since World War II. The biographies assess the personalities
and political careers of key figures who reached the senior ranks
in Labour politics but never became party leaders. There are
studies of: charismatic left-wingers such as Nye Bevan and Tony
Benn; pillars of the movement such as Ernie Bevin; senior and
highly successful ministers like Denis Healey and Roy Jenkins;
leading intellectuals and writers like Anthony Crosland and Michael
Foot; and, arguably, the most important woman in Labour history -
Barbara Castle. The biographies are set against a background of
turbulent Labour history from the landslide victory of 1945 and the
years of Labour achievement under Atlee, through the Wilson years -
now beginning to enjoy some rehabilitation - via the
"unelectability" and near-eclipse of the later 1970s and 1980s, to
the triumph of new Labour in 1997. The book focuses on the impact
of each individual on Labour's fortunes, their successes and
failures, their legacy and place in the history of the Labour
movement and of modern Britain.
