<p>First published in 1964, <i>Peel and the Conservative Party </i>is a major historical study that considers the problems of Peel who in 1932 was to recreate a party which had been shattered successively by Canning, Catholic Emancipation, and the Reform Bill, and, to lead a party whose interests were hopelessly divided between agriculture and industry. The author acknowledges the work of Professors Aspinall and Gash on the subject, and among other things considers the <i>true </i>significance of the resignation of the Duke of Wellington in 1830. This book will be an interesting read for students of history and political science. </p>
