Burying Caesar takes us into the thick of the battle for contro l of the Tory party in the 1930s.<br /><br />Winston Churchill an d Neville Chamberlain were two giants of the political stage who were the sons of men who had decisively shaped the politics of th e previous era. Burying Caesar charts the course plotted by both Churchill and Chamberlain in their ambition to win the greatest p rize in British politics, which had eluded both their fathers. Gr aham Stewart examines the restrictions which Party conformity pla ces upon ambitious politicians and describes vividly the fate tha t befalls those who step outside its limits. He analyses how best dissidents can alter their own Government's policy ' whether the y should do so privately from within the Cabinet or in open rebel lion on the backbenches ' provides fresh insights into how those in Government induce critics in their own party to stay silent, a nd identifies those responsible for the concerted campaign to sil ence Churchill.<br /><br />Readable, controversial and brilliantl y intelligent, Burying Caesar is the result of rigorous archival research and fresh analysis from a young historian who has spent seven years immersed in the 1930s ' one of this century's most co mplex and turbulent decades. It is a gripping account of the mech anisms and motivations that underpin politics in Britain, forces that are as important today as they were more than fifty years ag o.</p> ., Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1999, 3<
