Hailed by Margaret Thatcher as the founder of modern conservatism,
Keith Joseph is commonly ranked among the most influential
politicians of the late-20th century. A complex and enigmatic
figure Joseph was almost unique among Mrs Thatcher's senior
ministers in refusing to write his own memoirs. Challenging both
the "mad monk" view held by his critics and his status of mythical
hero to his admirers, the authors present a picture of Joseph as a
thinker and decision-maker. the authors tell of Joseph's formative
years before he entered Parliamnet in 1956: the powerful Jewish
dynasty into which Josph was born; his time at Harrow; at Oxford;
his war years in the Royal Artillery; and his Fellowship at All
Souls. This volume charts the political career of Keith Joseph. The
authors challenge Joseph's self-declared conversion to Conservatism
in 1974 and the importance of his "education" of Margaret Thatcher.
His own ambition, intellectual integrity and consistency are all
examined and a different picture emerges of his role as the
intellectual driving force behind Conservative Government policy in
the 1980s.
