The Art of the Possible : The Memoirs of Lord Butler.
R.A. Butler, the leading architect of post-war Conservatism, looks back on his remarkable career in these distinguished memoirs. Prime mover of the 1944 Education Act, he became an outstanding figure in the Conservative Party Research Department and did much to put the Welfare State firmly on the Tory programme. Here he explains his principles, relates his experiences in office under six Prime Ministers from Baldwin to Alec Douglas- Home, and considers why he never himself became Premier during the long years of Conservative rule.
‘The best political autobiography of his generation. In one concise volume… he has assembled excellently well the guintessence of his life, beliefs, times: and contemporaries’ – Woodrow Wyatt in the Evening Standard
