Description of  Labour's Lost Leader: The Life and Politics of Will Crooks (International Library of Political Studies)

The significant and sometimes controversial figure, Will Crooks, who became the Chairman of the Popular Board of Guardians and a leading pioneer of the trade union and labour movement, has been overlooked by modern historians. Here Paul Tyler presents a groundbreaking political biography of a significant Labour figure at both a local and national level and an important reinterpretation of the early trade union and labour movement from the 1880s to the 1920s.
