History of the AWU is a first-hand account of the making of a union and the makings of a nation. It depicts the industrial and political struggles of workers in the late 19th century, and explains the motivations behind the people who forged Australia’s most powerful and enduring blue-collar union. W. G. Spence was not only an observer of momentous events, he was also a leading participant in those events. With that in mind, Spence’s book is more than just a record of the circumstances that led to the creation of the AWU. It is also an expression of the ideals that inspired the Australian labour movement and a manifesto for future generations of Australian unionists. With a foreword by Paul Howes, an introduction by Graham Freudenberg and a biography of Spence by Professor Nick Dyrenfurth, the updated History of the AWU is essential reading for everyone interested in how Australia came to be the country that it is today. Spence’s history is the story of how misery and despair was transformed into hope and progress in Australia. Paul Howes Those of us who believe that a strong union movement is vital to the future success of the Australian Labor Party will welcome this new edition of History of the AWU by William Guthrie Spence. Graham Freudenberg Spence’s histories blazed a trail for later scholars. Indeed, no serious student of the labour movement can avoid his giant contribution. Nick Dyrenfurth

From small beginnings, trade unions developed leading to the birth of the United Trades and Labor Council in 1884, and to political action with the formation of the United Labor Party in 1891. This is a record of peaceful movements for reform, for the Chartist program and a wider democracy.

Celebrating the 120th anniversary of the Australian Labor Party (ALP)-one of the oldest labor parties in the world and the first to form a government-this short and lively book recounts ALP's history from its origins during the late 19th century through present day. The book details the party's numerous successes in winning government at all levels and its policymaking that has transformed lives, as well as demonstrating how the ALP has attracted an extraordinary range of members, parliamentary representatives, leaders, unionists, activists and, indeed, opponents. The ALP has been a central force in Australia throughout the 20th century, and this concise chronicle tells the story of their triumphs and crises, their colorful characters and famed members, and their evolving aspirations. Nick Dyrenfurth is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Sydney. Frank Bongiorno is a senior lecturer at the Menzies Center for Australian Studies and Department of History at King's College London.

Normally historians do not consider Australia and New Zealand as having a common experience, but Bennett (U. of Aukland) takes careful note of the labour movement that took hold of both countries for about 50 years, beginning in the 1890s. He explains how labour organising became a multinational entity as groups from both countries supported each other's strikes, followed each other's efforts in arbitration, and used each other's experiences in organisation to move toward progress in unionisation. Bennett examines the large number of separate groups that appeared to keep a close eye on each other as the world moved toward the Depression and on to the Second World War, events that substantially changed the labour movements in both countries.
