Riassunto

The first volume of John Campbell's biography of Margaret Thatcher was described by Frank Johnson in the Daily Telegraph as 'much the best book yet written about Lady Thatcher'. That volume, The Grocer's Daughter, described Mrs Thatcher's childhood and early career up until the 1979 General Election which carried her into Downing Street.

This second volume covers the whole eleven and a half years of her momentous premiership. Thirteen years after her removal from power, this is the first comprehensive and fully researched study of the Thatcher Government from its hesitant beginning to its dramatic end. Campbell draws on the mass of memoirs and diaries of Mrs Thatcher's colleagues, aides, advisers and rivals, as well as on original material from the Ronald Reagan archive, shedding fascinating new light on the Reagan-Thatcher 'special relationship', and on dozens of interviews.

The Iron Lady will confirm John Campbell's Margaret Thatcher as one of the greatest political biographies of recent times.

Recensione:

Praise for Margaret Thatcher: The Grocer’s Daughter:
“Even-handed and readable, even compelling. Campbell’s research is huge and he lifts the lid on plenty of political skulduggery of the 1960s and 1970s: the book has real sweep in its record of a modern myth.” -- Financial Times

“If [the second volume] is as well and clearly written as this one, it is something to look forward to eagerly.” -- TLS

“A triumph.” -- Spectator

“Campbell is not only a meticulous scholar, he is an uncommonly vivid writer.” -- Sunday Times
