The Australian Labor Party is one of the oldest labour parties in the world and the first to form a government. This short, sharp history tells the story of the party's formation, its successes and failures at winning elections at all levels, its leaders, its key players and the policies that have changed lives. It shows how the ALP has attracted an extraordinary range of members, parliamentary representatives, leaders, unionists, activists and, indeed, opponents. In this updated edition of A Little History of the Australian Labor Party, Nick Dyrenfurth and Frank Bongiorno examine the central role of the ALP in Australian history.
