Reviews / Votes
'Shaw has written a rich intellectual history of the party's struggle for credibility in a period of resurgent neo-liberalism and the 'death' of socialism. This is an authoritative and painstaking analysis of New Labour ideology by one of Labour's best informed critics.' - John Callaghan, University of Salford, UK'This is an important and timely book, clearly and perceptively written. Eric Shaw tackles head-on, carefully and objectively, one of the key questions in British politics today. The Labour Party without its soul has no purpose, for it was created to help the poorest. Has Blair removed that soul? If so, can it be regained?' - Francis Beckett, Author and journalist, biographer of four Prime Ministers - Attlee, Macmillan, Blair and Brown
'The book itself is soulful deliverance. The introductory chapter on its own, a perceptive and compelling review of the theoretical literature on new Labour, is worthy of this claim; its lessons could be applied to party systems everywhere in Western democracies. The first two chapters offer discerning accounts of the principals of social democracy. The remaining policy case studies are salvation writ large for political scientists and policy analysts.' - A. F. Johnson, CHOICE magazine

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
