Labour Country - Political Radicalism and Social Democracy in South Wales 1831-1985

In this bold, controversial book, Daryl Leeworthy takes a fresh, provocative look at the struggle through radical political action for social democracy in Wales. The reasons for Labour''s triumph, he argues, lay in radical pragmatism and an ability to harness lofty ideals with meaningful practicality. This was a place of dreamers and doers, the world of Arthur Horner and Aneurin Bevan.
