The second volume of the epic biography shorlisted for the Orwell Prize and hailed as 'much the best book written about Lady Thatcher' (Daily Telegraph)
John Campbell is the author of biographies of Lloyd George (1977), F. E. Smith (1983), Roy Jenkins (1983), Aneurin Bevan (1986) and Edward Heath (1994), for which he won the NCR Award. Margaret Thatcher Volume 2- The Iron Lady was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize in 2004.
John Campbell succeeds brilliantly with this second volume of his
biography of Britain's first woman prime minister. His account -
compelling, often exhilarating and, in its closing pages, genuinely
moving - portrays Thatcher's political career as a tragedy worthy
of Shakespeare
