Synopsis
This biography of Britain's first Labour prime minister, James Ramsay MacDonald (1866-1937), draws widely from new material in the MacDonald Papers, interviews, government documents, and private papers of political contemporaries and family members. Credited with creating a national and parliamentary Labour Party that formed two governments, MacDonald was expelled from the party when he agreed to form a National Government in 1931. The author presents a critical and often provocative analysis of the life of an illegitimate child born in humble circumstances who rose to become prime minister in 1924 and 1929-1935.

Etat : Sehr Gut. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. Low Born Among the High Brows. The author presents a critical and often provocative analysis of the life of Britain's first Labour prime minister, drawing widely from new material in the MacDonald Papers, interviews, government documents, and private papers of political contemporaries and family members. From the introduction: "This book is not a sympathetic defense of MacDonald's actions and decisions. In some cases, such as his decision in 1914 to oppose Britain's entrance into the war, I offer an even more critical evaluation of his activities than has heretofore been considered. It is a study of how a man manipulated events and people, especially in his own party, to become indispensable to his party's advancement and play an integral part in realigning the political structure of 20th Century Britain following the First World War".
