The Conservative Party's periods in opposition have been of crucial importance. They have seen major changes in direction, and often been the springboard for recovering power. There have also been leadership crises and bitter divisions, and recovery was never inevitable.

The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the Conservative Party and of opposition in modern British politics.
