Reviews

'I mistakenly began Johnson's book expecting it would be a general history of this duality in the journey of the party - however, the first half is a detailed account of a small forgotten by-way off the main highway - one which I found fascinating...Johnson's book is both a tribute to Trevor, an interesting account of his life and work and an analysis of the continuing interweaving strands of faith and political struggle.' Linda Shampan,Labour Heritage Bulletin, Autumn 2018.
