The second volume of Charlie Moore's award-winning biography of the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher, reveals aspects of the political scene and events that shaped British history. In this volume, it describes how, during her tenure, Thatcher vigorously opposed the miners' strike, transformed relations with Europe, and privatized significant sectors of the British economy.
The book offers a dramatic picture of the global political scene, recognizing Mikhail Gorbachev as 'a man with whom one can do business' before he rose to leadership of the Soviet Union. It also explores the challenges she faced, such as the betrayal by her friend Ronald Reagan during the American invasion of Grenada and her isolation within her government circle.
Moore has access to exclusive documents and interviews, revealing the details of her decisions and her interactions with advisors. The book portrays Thatcher not only as a politician but also as a mother and working woman, who managed to dominate her country.
On October 12, 1984, during the Conservative Party conference in Brighton, the IRA attempted to assassinate her, but she continued with her speech, showing her determination and strength. This book offers a unique insight into one of the most significant political figures in history.
