  Considers various elements that influenced the early Labor Party from its formation into the 1930s. This book assesses ways in which the Independent Labor Party, the co-operative movement, liberalism, and the local party branches helped lay the foundations for Labor's growth from a parliamentary pressure group to a party of government.
