Dole Queues and Demons by Stuart Ball
Lavishly illustrated with over 150 images, this book gives an excellent insight into the key issues and evolving strategies of the Conservative Party throughout the twentieth century, and up to the present day. A foreword by advertising guru Maurice Saatchi discusses the posters from a communication and design perspective.
