Peace, war and party politics examines the mid-Victorian
Conservative Party's significant but overlooked role in British
foreign policy and in contemporary debate about Britain's relations
with Europe. The book considers the Conservatives' response - in
opposition and government - to the tumultuous era of Napoleon III,
the Crimean war and Italian unification. Within a clear
chronological framework, it focuses on 'high' politics, and offers
a detailed account of the party's foreign policy in government
under its longest-serving but forgotten leader, the fourteenth Earl
of Derby. It attaches equal significance to domestic politics, and
incorporates a provocative new analysis of Disraeli's role in
internal tussles over policy, illuminating the roots of the power
struggle he would later win against Derby's son in the 1870s.
Overall, it helps to provide us with a fuller picture of
mid-Victorian Britain's engagement with the world. This book will
be of use to those teaching and studying Victorian politics and
foreign policy at all levels in higher education. -- .
