The shock of opposition, 1945-51 -- Consensus Conservatism and extreme-right revival, 1951-57 -- Macmillan and Home : 'pink socialism' and 'true-blue' Conservatism, 1957-64 -- Edward Heath : a rightwards turn and the coalescence of the extreme right, 1964-70 -- 'Heathco' meets the extreme-right's challenge, 1970-75 -- Conclusion : keeping it right.

Shows how the Conservative Party, realising that its well-documented pre-Second World War connections with the extreme right were now embarrassing, used its bureaucracy to implement a policy of investigating extreme right groups and taking action to minimise their chances of success.
