Reviews

The range of essays in this volume is impressive and highly illuminating...The meticulous scholarship, which so many of the contributors to this volume have shown, uncovers a world of ambitious Conservative politicians groping towards policies which may satisfy short-term needs. These ideas are often extremely difficult to categorise in abstract philosophical terms. The Tory World is a successful, and important, contribution to scholarship about Conservative foreign policy in the course of more than 300 years of British political history. - Kwasi Kwarteng, House of Commons, Parliamentary History
