First published in her pioneering treatise Statecraft, the opinions and projections of the former Prime Minister on Europe remain potent and resoundingly prophetic. Margaret Thatcher foresaw the European Union as a swelling superstate, gradually eroding Britain's freedom. Irreparable and doomed, European integration did not allow for the birthright of nationhood. It was the most recent incarnation of an idea that has been tried many times before, and the outcomes were far from happy. During my lifetime, she says, most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or other, from mainland Europe, and the solutions from outside it.
Britain's first female Prime Minister - and the only British Prime Minister of the 20th century to win three consecutive general elections - shares her story as only she can in this engaging memoir.

10, Downing Street Mémoires
Bu bir deneme değil, eleştirel bir inceleme de değil. Yüreğimden kopanı karşılıklı paylaştığımız heyecanlı bir içtenlikle kâğıda döküyorum. Sana sesleniyorum, Fedor. Bir yazar hiçbir zaman kendine ait değildir: Sen, benim damarlarımda dolaşan kanda yaşıyorsun, sorduğun sorular sinir hücrelerime işlenmiş. Sen benim için, kendinden sonra gelenlere yapıtlarıyla yol gösteren bir usta olmakla kalmadan; bunun hep ötesindeydin; ciğerlerime çektiğim hava oldun. Ben, senin yarattığın kişilerden biriyim, Fedor. Kitaplarını yutarcasına okuyan o şaşkın çocuklardan biri olmakla başladım işe. Sana on üç-on dört yaşlarında Barcelona'da rastladım ve ilk bakışta tanıdım, çünkü doğduğumdan beri senin içinde yaşıyordum ben. Senin adını, Fedya, ilk romanımın, Çağımızın Çocuğu'nun ilk sayfasına yazdım. Beni senden daha iyi kim anlayabilirdi? Michel del Castillo, ustası Dostoyevski'ye Kardeşim Budala'da böyle sesleniyor. Ve roman, eleştirel deneme, yaşamöyküsü olmayan, ama hepsinden izler taşıyan bu kitabı bitirdiğimizde, aralarındaki diyaloğun sona ermediğini, `suçlarından' ve `cezalarından' birbirlerine sonsuza kadar fısıldayarak söz etmeyi sürdüreceklerini hissediyoruz. Aralarına girmiş biz okurlara da kitabı kapatıp usulca geri çekilmek düşüyor.
