  This volume describes the role of the Conservative party and attempts to account for its success. With their fundamental distrust of change, how did the Conservatives so successfully cope with it? John Charmley has written an account of one of the principal forces in modern British history from the age of Lord Salisbury to that of John Major. It is illuminated throughout by a concentration upon the men (and the woman) who charted the party through a century of warfare and welfare.
