Goodbye Dave

Goodbye Dave

Tony Drury's first book in the trilogy about the new direction of the Conservative Party, where Tony reveals his very personal reasons for leaving the party after 30 years of dedicated service to it.

In his own unique way Tony is able to capture the mood of many in the party and he has had the courage to put it in print. Along the way he adds many fascinating experiences and anecdotes.

"Goodbye Dave" is a 'must read' for anyone with any political interest.
