Description
This book offers an innovative and distinctive analysis of the Conservative Party Leadership of John Major. It addresses the absence of an in depth exploration of the much maligned, but largely misunderstood, Conservative Party leadership tenure of John Major. A comprehensive and accessible evaluation of the complexity of managing the tensions of the post-Thatcherite Conservative Party, this book breaks new ground and provides a compelling insight into the crisis of contemporary British Conservatism.About Author
