About this title

Review

""New Labour in Power was published in 1997, the product of a conference held within weeks of the election. Even "contemporary history is not usually this contemporary. The editors make no apologies for this, hoping to help kickstart the debate on the meaning of New Labour in power; their enthusiasm for this important debate is to be applauded.."
