The Spanish Civil War and the British Labour Movement (Paperback)

This book draws on a mass of documentary material to provide a
major reinterpretation of British labour's response to the Spanish
Civil War. It challenges the view that the labour leadership '
betrayed' the Spanish Republic, and that this polarised the
movement along left' versus 'right' lines. Instead, it argues that
the overriding concern of the major leaders was to defend labour's
institutional interests against the political destabilisation
caused by the conflict, rather than to defend Spanish democracy.
Although the main advocates of this position were trade union
leaders associated with the labour right such as Walter Citrine and
Ernest Bevin, the book argues that their dominance reflected the
centrality of the trade unions to labour movement decision-making
rather than the abuse of union power to achieve political goals.
