This uneven path has been accompanied by an ongoing internal debate - partisans might reject the suggestion of a dispute - over the party's underlying philosophy and purpose. Much of this relates to Liberalism's uneasy coalition of social and economic traditions and the extent to which they can be combined within the same political movement. Showing an impressive knowledge and understanding of the relevant literature, Tudor Jones expertly leads the reader through Liberalism's ideological history over the last sixty years. His work is timely. With the Liberal Democrats again reclaiming a significant role in British politics, this book is one which students and practitioners of Liberalism will want to read.'
