Conservatism
«
Mark Garnett deftly interweaves history, philosophy and politics to create a readable and punchy narrative of the development of conservatism in its natural habitat of the British Conservative Party, leavened by pithy observations and sardonic humour. Vital background for anyone trying to understand how the party of Europe, morality and fiscal responsibility became the party of Brexit, Johnson and Truss.

Mark Garnett has produced a highly readable account of the Conservative Party which weaves together thought and practice very effectively. It confirms my view of him as one of the best scholars on the Conservative Party today. I strongly recommend it for students and the general reader alike.

In this wide-ranging and engaging account of the interplay of ideas, personalities and events in the history of the Conservative Party over two centuries Mark Garnett explores how the pursuit of office and changing circumstances have emptied Conservatism of ideological coherence. A frank and stimulating guide to the Conservative Party and the roots of its present discontents.
