Publisher's Synopsis
Considering the qualities of leaders from the most electorally successful of British parties, among them some of the towering figures of British political history, this book places each in the context of their respective time and political landscape. From Robert Peel to David Cameron, and featuring 22 Conservative prime ministers since the inauguration of James Ramsay MacDonald, it offers an analytical framework by which those leaders may be judged, and a detailed personal biography of each.
