Since the 1880s, the Conservative Party has been an important
political force in Britain. In this study of Conservative ideology
since the end of Second World War, first published in 1974, Andrew
Gamble considers the nature of Conservative party opinion, and the
factors that have accounted for its success. The adaptation of the
party post-1945 is discussed, as well as the ascendancy of the
Right progressives in the leadership, and the challenge of the
Whigs and Imperialists. Finally, the book includes a discussion of
the fluctuations within the Conservative Government between 1970
and 1974, with an account of what Gamble believes to have been
ultimately a failure. A rigorous and comprehensive analysis of
Conservative thought and policy, this study will be of particular
value to those with an interest in the history of British
Conservative politics and government.
