- Focusing on Spain, Italy, and France, the book includes interviews with a total of 11 policymakers, trade unionists, and activists—including former prime ministers Felipe González and Giuliano Amato, and former French Senate member Anicet le Pors.
- Grounding the interviews within a historical, sociological, and political literature, the book contains three country-specific commentaries (David Broder on Italy, Jonah Birch on France, and Juan Andrade on Spain), as well as two introductory reflections from esteemed political scientist Adam Przeworski and Stephanie Mudge, author of Leftism Revisited.
- The interviews and commentaries offer a unique insight not only into the social and economic trends which fractured the social democratic consensus, but the strategic considerations made by policymakers and activists at the time.
