Overview
Guilty Men is the story of Conservative politics in Britain from 1992 to 1997. It is a tale of an incompetent government, a petulant Prime Minister, and an arrogant political party; a chronicle of the decline and fall of Conservatism; and an analysis of the consequences for British politics and society today. More than that, it is a wide-ranging historical overview which shows how 1992-97 was the last act of a 20-year cycle which began with the rise of a New Right intelligentsia in Britain and the United States, and ended with the greatest defeat in modern history of any right-wing party.Lucid, abrasive and controversial, Hywel Williams's analysis of the death throes of Conservatism is based on diaries, private papers, personal knowledge and interviews. His historian's sense of perspective and journalist's nose for a lead makes this fascinating assessment a landmark in political studies.
