Patrick Bell lectures in British Politics at the University of Durham. He was previously Lecturer in History at the University of Leeds.
"Overall, this is an excellent, well-written book with a very strong narrative. What is most pleasing about this book is the superb archival research that has gone into it, for no stone has been left unturned in the search for fine detail. Patrick Bell has produced a book which perfectly captures the reasons why Labour became highly successful in opposition by only tinkering and fine tuning its message and policies on the road back to power."— Neil Pye, Labour History Review"Patrick Bell has done a very thorough job of trawling through all the avaliable committee papers and interviewing key individuals. The result is that the reader gets a vivid picutre of the deep left-right split at all levels of the party and the great skill of Harold Wilson as a leader in keeping the whole show on the road." — Michael Meadowcroft, Journal of Liberal History
