Publisher's Synopsis
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.
