Editorial Review
The book's strength lies in its meticulous examination of original documents in the Conservative Party and National Archives, in the extensive range of interviews with key players and in its demonstration that policy-making has implicitly drawn on the twin strands of Tory paternalism and Whig liberalism. - Sir Douglas Wass, Former Permanent Secretary to HM Treasury.
