“Book Descriptions: The Australian Labor Party is one of the oldest labour parties and was the first in the world to form a government. 2011 marks its 120th birthday. This short and lively book tells the story of the ALP's numerous successes in winning government at all levels and making policy that has transformed lives. It also shows how the ALP has attracted an extraordinary range of members, parliamentary representatives, leaders, unionists, activists and, indeed, opponents.
There is no denying that Labor's achievements are immense. Australian Labor has endured for over a century, survived three serious splits, two world wars and many crises. It is by far the most resilient party in Australian politics and one of the hardiest in the world. Its history—its triumphs, failures and set-backs—should be known. This pithy book makes that possible.” DRIVE
