A little book about the big history of one of Australia’s most important institutions.

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
