Biteback Publishing British Conservative Leaders
Book SynopsisAs the party that has won wars, reversed recessions and held prime ministerial power more times than any other, the Conservatives have played an undoubtedly crucial role in the shaping of contemporary British society. And yet, the leaders who have stood at its helm - from Sir Robert Peel to David Cameron, via Benjamin Disraeli, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher - have steered the party vessel with enormously varying degrees of success.;With the widening of the franchise, revolutionary changes to social values and the growing ubiquity of the media, the requirements, techniques and goals of Conservative leadership since the party's nineteenth-century factional breakaway have been forced to evolve almost beyond recognition - and not all its leaders have managed to keep up.;This comprehensive and enlightening book considers the attributes and achievements of each leader in the context of their respective time and diplomatic landscape, offering a compelling analytical framework by which they may be judged, detailed personal biographies from some of the country's foremost political critics, and exclusive interviews with former leaders themselves.; An indispensable contribution to the study of party leadership, British Conservative Leaders is the essential guide to understanding British political history and governance through the prism of those who created it.;Contributing authors include Matthew d'Ancona, Tim Bale, Stuart Ball, Jim Buller, John Campbell, John Charmley, Charles Clarke, Mark Davies, Patrick Diamond, David Dutton, Dr Mark Garnett, Richard A. Gaunt, William Hague, Angus Hawkins, Timothy Heppell, Andrew Holt, Michael Howard, Toby S. James, Nigel Keohane, Jo-Anne Nadler, T. G. Otte, Anne Perkins, Robert Saunders, Anthony Seldon, Andrew Taylor, D. R. Thorpe and Alan Wager.Trade Review'This is a riveting book. It succeeds as a work of history - the best authors on their topic of expert knowledge. It succeeds in understanding the Conservative Party, its flexibility and understanding of power. And, most interestingly, it succeeds as a reflection on political leadership. Read this if your side has just lost an election and wants to win the next one. Read it if your side has just won an election and wants to avoid losing the next one. Read it if you don't have a side.' - Daniel Finkelstein; 'I found this book a fascinating read because it is such a distinctively political analysis of various Conservative leaders and concentrates on their political successes or failures as leaders of a party. This gives an intriguing insight into an essential element of any political leader's career, which is usually only written about as background to the events of the 'reign'. I found the analysis absorbing.' - Ken Clarke; 'Puts David Cameron's 2015 victory in context - and shows him to be among the greatest winners in the long history of the Conservative Party.' - Boris Johnson

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewJason Chaffetz first fought the Deep State from the inside. Now he has written a powerful guide to how it works and how to fight it. The Deep State is not to be missed. — Peter Schweizer on The Deep State Jason Chaffetz captures the reality of disaster liberalism in this fascinating new book. It’s true, Democrats never let a crisis go to waste. They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste illuminates the tactics, shares the stories, provides unique insight, and gives you the perspective so you can recognize what’s happening in real time. Once you see what they do, and how they do it, you will never look at Washington, D.C., the same. — Sean Hannity on They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste makes clear that the left has two sets of rules: one for themselves and one for everybody else. If you don’t buy their vision of an all-encompassing government, they deem you morally insufficient. That’s reason alone to deny them the power they seek. — Ben Shapiro on They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste shares the stories and provides true insights like you’ve never seen before. — Nicole Saphier, MD, on They Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste In Power Grab, Jason Chaffetz takes us along his path toward a disturbing realization. Even as a seasoned political insider, he was taken aback by the post-Trump American reality in which news was quickly replaced by political theater and little was as it appeared to be. There are lessons for all of us, if we are willing to open our eyes. — Sharyl Attkisson on Power Grab Power Grab will leave you wanting more. Long after you’ll be thinking about the implications of what Jason Chaffetz reveals in this stunning new account of Washington, D.C., politics. Readers will never again take Democratic narratives at face value. The duplicity, the hypocrisy, and the flippancy with which they sacrifice the very foundational elements of our government must be fought on every level. — Sara A. Carter on Power Grab

Oxford University Press, USA History Historians and Conservatism in Britain and America
Book SynopsisHistory, Historians, and Conservatism in Britain and America examines the subjects, motives, and personal and intellectual origins of conservative historians who were also successful public intellectuals. In their search for a persuasive and wide appeal, conservatives depended until at least the 1960s upon history and historians to provide conservative concepts with authority and authenticity. Beginning with the Great War in Britain and the Second World War in America, conservative historians participated actively and influentially in debates about the heart, soul, and especially the mind of conservatism. Particular emphasis is placed on four historians in Britain-F. J. C. Hearnshaw, Keith Feiling, Arthur Bryant, and Herbert Butterfield-and three in America-Daniel Boorstin, Peter Viereck, and Russell Kirk-who developed conservative responses to unprecedented and threatening events both at home and abroad. These historians shared basic assumptions about human nature and society, but theTrade ReviewA compelling examination of the work and influence of several British and American historians on convervatism during the twentieth century. * British Scholar *A dense, complex and penetrating book that explores a neglected area of 20th century history * A.W.

Oxford University Press Battle for the Castle
Book SynopsisSince 1918, Czechoslovakia has been known as East-Central Europe''s most devoted democracy, an outpost of Western values in the East. While the country has had more democratic experience than its neighbors, this book argues that the claim that Czechs are native democrats, devoted to liberal ideas, emerged from nationalist myth. Battle for the Castle tells the story of that myth''s creation during the First World War, used to persuade the Great Powers to create Czechoslovakia out of pieces of Austria-Hungary. Tomáš Masaryk and Edvard Beneš, the two academics crafting the myth and employing it for wartime propaganda, became Czechoslovakia''s first president and prime minister. They tried to use the myth to outmaneuver political opponents at home and Czechoslovakia''s enemies abroad. Those enemies, and the European Great Powers, also conducted their own propaganda campaigns targeting Czechoslovakia as a symbol of the postwar order. At home, while proclaiming themselves the protectors of Trade Reviewfinely researched ... an erudite deconstruction of political myths deliberately created and manipulated for the political end of building a nationâs identity, reputation and power abroad among influential westerners. * Cathleen Giustino, European History Quarterly *Table of ContentsIntroduction The Golden Republic ; Chapter One Myth and Wartime ; Chapter Two The Castle ; Chapter Three Battles of the Legend-Makers ; Chapter Four Difficulties Abroad ; Chapter Five A Time of Iron and Fire ; Epilogue ; Abbreviations and Definitions ; Notes ; Index

Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Edmund Burke Major Conservative and Libertarian Thinkers v 6
Book SynopsisDennis O'Keeffe is Visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Buckingham, UK.Trade Review"An invigorating account that repeatedly places Burke in a context that is relevant for the present day. Written in an accessible style, O'Keeffe's book offers a reading that is at once academic and infused with a powerful moral strain." --Jeremy Black "The volumes in this timely series comprise the most comprehensive body of material on conservative and libertarian thought yet published in a single project devoted to the subject. The series will prove an indispensable tool not only for those concerned with the history of political thought but also for those who confront the challenging task of constructing a viable contemporary conservative identity. Professor Meadowcroft had a difficult editorial task, to which he has responded with a judicious choice of thinkers and topics." Noel O'Sullivan, Professor of Political Philosophy, the University of Hull, UK. "In this eminently readable, intellectually stimulating and compact volume Professor Dennis O'Keeffe does an excellent job of introducing us to Edmund Burke, his life and family, the essence of his most notable works, his parliamentary career and manifesto writing and how apparent contradictions in his own life and philosophy are reconciled in his intellectual and political development." -Rodney Atkinson, Fellow at the University of Buckingham"O'Keeffe is at his best in ‘extrapolating' Burke into more recent times...That is what makes it such a joy to read." -John Clarke, Quadrant"Never in the field of Burkean studies has so much been said in so few words. O'Keeffe displays an enviable sense of structure, which enables him to combine in a small space a comprehensive exegesis of Burke's thought with a sweeping overview of secondary sources - and still have enough left over to show how Burke's ideas apply to today's world." -Alex Boot, The Salisbury Review"For students and scholars, O'Keeffe presents the life and ideas of conservative British thinker Edmund Burke (1729-1797) within historical context. He explains Burke's philosophical contributions to conservative thinking, the reception by his contemporaries, and implications for politics and policy today. Discussion includes his ideas about empire, Ireland and England, relations with North American settlements, India, property, the de-sanctification of humanity, and his opposition to the French Revolution, as well as his many writings, including Reflections on the Revolution in France." -Eithne O'Leyne, BOOK NEWS, Inc.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Edmund Burke: The Contradictions of Benevolence; Chapter 2. Genial Olympian: Burke and his Opinions; Chapter 3. Great Acclaim, Some Derision and Much Controversy. How Burke was Received; Chapter 4.
