Conservatives and The Nation State 1922-1997
Britain's most controversial historian and diarist on 75 years of the Conservative Party and, in his view, its failure to staunch the decline of Britain as a nation-state.
For the better part of this century the Conservatives have been the governing political party of Britain. During that period the country has fallen in stature by virtually every criterion of measurement which can be applied.

How are we to understand its catastrophic and repetitious failure, over practically the whole of this period, to achieve that objective?
