An authoritative study of the Conservative party in the war and in the period of postwar reconstruction through to the Suez crisis. In these, the Churchill and Eden years, the same men who had held cabinet office before 1939 led the party through to postwar recovery in 1951. Only in 1957, after Suez, did they hand over to the next generation. John Ramsden argues that Macmillan's was the first truly 'post-war' cabinet not dominated by the presence or memory of Churchill. The book explores local conservatism, and its relations with the centre, as well as the national party, to present a collective biography of the Conservatives in the years which saw the end of Britain as an international superpower.
