It then follows the course of the Labour party's foreign policy during a tumultuous period on the international stage, including the First World War, the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, the build up to and violent reality of the Second World War, and the start of the Cold War.This highly readable book provides an excellent analysis of Labour's foreign policy during the period in which Labour experienced power for the first time
