Based on unrestricted access to all Lady Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews with her and all her major colleagues, this is the indispensable portrait of a towering figure of our times.
Charles Moore joined the staff of the Daily Telegraph in 1979, and as a political columnist in the 1980s covered several years of Mrs Thatcher's first and second governments. He was Editor of the Spectator 1984-1990; Editor of the Sunday Telegraph 1992-1995; and Editor of the Daily Telegraph 1995-2003, for which he is still a regular columnist. The first volume of his biography of Margaret Thatcher, published in 2013, won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, the H.W. Fisher Best First Biography Prize and Political Book of the Year at the Paddy Power Political Book Awards.
One of the great biographical achievements of our times.
*Sunday Times*
This is a magnificent piece of work, and when he has completed it
with the third volume, Moore will have done the justice she
deserves to a great Prime Minister.
*Evening Standard*
Moore's project is a study of detailed depth, and fine and
transparent judgements, which rises to the largeness of a figure
and a time that were of world significance.
*FT*
An awesomely thorough and authoritative portrait ... the definitive
explanation of the strange person who most shaped modern
Britain.
*Guardian*
