A hurdle which some of us face with even the most serious political books is that they are written for people of the author's own persuasion. Others are welcome to eavesdrop. But there is little effort to persuade those outside the stockade. These four books are written ostensibly for readers who are either 'on the Left' or who believe in equality or who hold both positions. Books written from the other side are often no better in this respect. They assume that the reader is a conservative and either philosophise about the true nature of conservatism or discuss what Conservatives need to do to be saved, or at least to win a few more elections.
