A very good copy in like dust-jacket. A pivotal work of English social history, Thompson's book placed workers at the centre of their own history for the first time and has been variously described as 'one of the most influential historical books of the twentieth century' and as a 'manifesto for the New Left'. In November 2015 the book was placed at number 11 on the list of 20 Academic Books that Changed the World along with Darwin's "Origin of Species" and Paine's "Rights of Man" amongst others. Scarce, especially so in such a well preserved fragile sugar-paper dust-jacket.
