Review Quotes




'...unlikely to be bettered.' - Paul Routledge, New Statesman

'Robert Taylor has achieved something unprecedented in the annals of trade union historiography. He has written a readable book on the TUC.' - Denis MacShane, Prospect

'Robert Taylor's chosen method of telling that story largely through the leading personalities is a shrewd formula. His narrative puts all the giants of the trade union movement on stage.' - Geoffrey Goodman, UCATT Building Worker

'One has only to read and re-read Taylor's gripping account of the battles over In Place of Strife to realize what opportunities were lost in the late 'sixties, and maybe the 'seventies, to re-develop trade unionism.' - Geoffrey Goodman, IPMS Bulletin

'The brothers who recently assembled for their 132nd Congress in Glasgow may well have longed to be rewarded with a more inspiring, or even encouraging, tale. Yet they could hardly have hoped for a better balanced ore more informative one.' - Anthony Howard, Sunday Times

'...a refreshing reminder of the contribution made to cililisation by some of the leading figures of this other - much maligned - institution.' - Jimmy Burns, The Tablet
