This book looks at how the British Labour Party came to terms with the 1960's 'cultural revolution', specifically changes to: the class structure, place of women, black immigration, the generation gap and calls for direct political participation. -- .

Despite often being unassuming and quiet professionals, men like Albert Pierrepoint, William Billington and many other executioners made a name for themselves in a world hungry for salacious and gruesome news. This book tells the story of these working-class men who carried out this gruesome profession until its abolition in the late 1960's.

Setting recent developments in a broader historical context, this major new text on the British Labour Party provides a balanced account of its present state and how it got there.
