Margaret Thatcher: Everything She Wants

The second volume of the authorized biography of the longest serving--and first female--Prime Minister of the twentieth century, and one of the most influential political figures of the postwar era.Volume II of Charles Moores authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher, more than fifteen years in the making, captures the period between 1982 and 1987, focusing on Thatchers reelection. Moore continues his unwavering examination of Thatchers personal and political life that he began in Volume I, drawing from previously unseen papers, diaries, letters, and interviews with former colleagues and intimates. The resulting portrait of Thatcher is clear-eyed and complex--as much a biography as it is a historical account of the circumstances and experiences that shaped this towering figure of our times.
