No name in British politics has been more often denounced in recent times than that of Chamberlain. Mr. Fraser believes that Joseph Chamberlain, the founder of the Birmingham dynasty, has been sufficiently cleared of the grosser calumnies of his detractors. He has therefore used an entirely new approach to his subject, which should do much to bring him into true perspective. Believing that his policies can only be interpreted when viewed against the distinct intellectual background of his times, the author has made use of a wealth of private papers, only recently made available for publication, in order to illuminate the great political struggles of Chamberlain's stormy career in the light of the immediate reasoning of the protagonists themselves. -- Taken from book jacket flap.

First Published in 1985 Britain and Joseph Chamberlain is not simply the first biography of Joseph Chamberlain to be written from a radical standpoint but also an exercise in ‘counter -history’. What difference might it have made if Ireland had been set on the road to self-government in 1886, if the reforms of the 1906 Liberal Government had been enacted before 1890 and if it had fallen to a government of the left to handle the Boers? All these possibilities were ruled out when Chamberlain, in a fit of personal animosity, broke with Gladstone over Home Rule. He probably also thereby removed the last chance of the Labour Party growing out of the Liberal Party instead of competing with it for progressive votes, and so facilitating the Conservative domination of politics between 1922-1940. Professor Balfour on the other hand does not believe that, even if Chamberlain had remained a radical and become Prime Minister, he would have been able to arrest Britain’s slackening growth. This book is an important historical document for scholars of British history.
