Bertha Walker’s Solidarity Forever! presents a compelling account of radical political activism in early 20th-century Australia, chronicling the life and influence of Percy Laidler, one of Melbourne’s most prominent socialist orators and organisers. This work in the genre of political biography and labour history illustrates the evolution of socialist movements, trade union struggles, and anti-conscription campaigns, positioning Laidler as a central figure in shaping working-class consciousness. Walker argues that grassroots agitation, public forums, and cultural institutions were instrumental in building solidarity and resistance against capitalist and imperialist forces. The book details key events such as the 1923 police strike, the rise of the Victorian Socialist Party, and the founding of the Communist Party, offering a vivid portrait of ideological conviction and public mobilisation.
