First edition of this personal account of modern Conservatives in government. Octavo, original cloth, pictorial endpapers, illustrated with black and white photographs. Signed and dated by the author on the title page, “Alan Clark 22 IX.” Fine in a near fine dust jacket.

In 'The Tories,' the witty author and Parliamentarian Alan Clark weighs the interest of the British Nation State with the actions of its Conservative Party. By examining historical failures of the party within the context of its real motives and using his own personal experience of government which he has recorded in his three volume 'Diaries,' Clark draws together the unmatched textbook to understanding the Conservatives.
