Full Description
More than three decades
after leaving office, Margaret Thatcher still bestrides the political scene,
both in Britain and around the world, like a colossus.
First elected to Parliament
in 1959, she served for twenty years before making history as the UK's first
female Prime Minister. Her two further election victories, both landslides,
made her the longest-serving British premier since Lord Liverpool in the Georgian
era.
To mark the centenary of her
birth, this fully updated edition of Memories of Margaret Thatcher brings
together 250 personal reminiscences and anecdotes from those who experienced
close encounters with the Iron Lady - whether political friends or opponents,
observing her from the press gallery or toiling to keep her flame alight in the
constituencies.
They include Ronald Reagan,
Helmut Kohl, Paddy Ashdown, Michael Howard, Sebastian Coe, Boris Johnson,
William Hague, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Esther Rantzen, David Davis, Liam Fox,
Kemi Badenoch, Kirsty Wark, Gyles Brandreth, Roger Scruton, Salman Rushdie and
many more.
Amusing, revealing, often
sympathetic and occasionally antagonistic, these observations combine to give a
unique portrait of a remarkable woman.
