The definitive portrait of Margaret Thatcher by award-winning political writer, Hugo Young
Addresses a question that has remained unanswered since the end of World War II: is Britain a European country? Rewriting the inside history of Britain and the European Union, each phase of the history in this book is built around the role of a single character, starting with Churchill and concluding with Tony Blair. The narrative is also built around the careers of Ernest Bevin, Harold Macmillan, Edward Heath, Roy Jenkins and Margaret Thatcher.
Written to coincide with a Channel 4 series on Lady Thatcher, this biography is based on intimate conversations between the Prime Minister and the major politicians of the period and Hugo Young. It traces her life from being an apprentice under Harold Macmillan and her participation in the government of Edward Heath, to her unquestioning destruction of the Conservatism of the 1950s and 1960s and her emergence as a senior stateswoman of the western world.
