From the Back Cover

'To call up these names from the past is to remind ourselves
that Labour was more than a political party. Moral force and faith in the
rank of hostility and contempt gave strength to its leaders and to the rank
and file. Labour grew out of the hardships and injustices suffered by our
people and it was deep conviction and organisation which enabled them to
triumph over their struggles and trials and win social justice. It is their
legacy on which Tony Blair builds today in a very different society.' From
the foreword by James Callaghan
