The Popular Front and the Progressive Tradition: Socialists, Liberals and the Quest for Unity, 1884-1939 Book

This is a study of the reasons of the British Labour Party's 'left' for supporting the unsuccessful campaign for the formation of a 'Popular Front' of the Labour, Liberal, and Communist parties in the late 1930s. The support of the Labour left for the campaign has often been seen as a result of Communist manipulation but here Dr Blaazer explains it by reassessing a sixty-year period in the progressive tradition in British politics. He argues that the 'left' emerged from that tradition, and that its support for a Popular Front was entirely consistent with the practice and ideas of British progressives.Read More
