'...this book is a welcome and useful addition to the scholarly work on the Conservative Party...Whilst retaining its academic credibility, the book is written in an accessible style which will ensure that it can appeal to a wide audience...Any student, or fellow academic seeking to analyse the recovering of the Conservatives under Cameron, would be seriously remiss if they did not engage with this work. In terms of how it fits in with the existing scholarly work on the Conservatives, and also on opposition politics, the book clearly has a huge value.' - Timothy Heppell, University of Leeds, Contemporary British History
