4.9/5 (10704 ratings)

Description:Anthony Crosland was one of the most fascinating and important figures in British politics since the war. As a young Labour MP in 1956 he wroteThe Future of Socialism,a book which established his reputation as the chief intellectual force behind "revisionism" on the left for a generation to come. He reached high office in 1976 when James Callaghan appointed him Foreign Secretary. It was widely assumed that Crosland would go on to become Chancellor and mount a serious bid for the party leadership. A career of great promise was cut short, however, when he died in 1977, aged only 58, prompting comparisons with other "lost leaders" such as Gaitskell and Iain Macleod. This new study, based upon private papers and interviews with friends and colleagues, provides an integrated account of Crosland's writing and political career. The book considers his significance as a proponent of social equality within an affluent society, and assesses his legacy in the aftermath of Labour's stunning electoral defeat at the hands of Margaret Thatcher in 1979.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
