"No prime minister of modern times has sought to change Britain and its place in the world as radically as Margaret Thatcher. Her government was, she says, about the application of a philosophy, not the implementation of an administrative programme. She sets out here with characteristic forcefulness and conviction the reasons for her beliefs and how she sought to put them into action. She gives riveting accounts of the great and critical moments of her premiership - the Falklands War, the Miners' strike, the Brighton bomb, the Westland Affair and her three election victories, Her judgements of other world statesmen and her Cabinet colleagues are often brutally frank, her criticism devastating. The book ends with an account of her last days in power which is as gripping as anything in thriller fiction."Taken from the Back Cover.

Rated 3/5
the reviewer below, (lunza) is totally right about the laundry list. I went to A, called B, signed on for C on a matter of principle!It could be due to my younger relative age ('83) that i found thatcher to be older fashioned and less progressive than i always assume a political leader should be. so lordly and royal. i was mildly appalled at times when shed eloquently reason the cause of crime in a city due to "the idle hands of youth" and surmise the solution to end the crime may be afterschool organizations or church groups. some crap like that. national, generational, class divide alienated me from this woman. good book for alienating a midwest, midclass american youth, i guess.
