Reviews

'Drew's book...is a fascinating narrative which is highly accessible to the general reader. But its apparent simplicity is deceptive. For specialist readers it is simultaneously a substantial contribution to modern British social history, South African political history and to the history of international socialism.'- Jonathan Hyslop, Twentieth-Century British History
