Synopsis "Margaret Thatcher. The Authorized Biography: Single-volume Centenary Edition"


\n
\n

With unparalleled authority and dramatic detail, Charles Moore''s definitive biography of Margaret Thatcher, now published in a single volume to mark the 100th anniversary of her birth, presents the whole history of the woman who transformed Britain and the world in the late twentieth century. With unique access to Thatcher’s private and governmental papers and extensive interviews with her, her family, and colleagues, Moore gives readers an unsurpassed portrait of her life.

From her early years and rise to power, through her transformative tenure as Prime Minister, to her final days, this biography illuminates the complexities of Thatcher’s character – her determination, boldness, and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated political world. Moore brilliantly conveys her pivotal role on the world stage, her battles at home, and the dramatic events leading to her resignation.

This edition combines the insights of the original three volumes, providing a comprehensive portrait of one of the most influential figures of her age, whose impact has lasted well into our own.

\n'Utterly gripped' Hilary MantelCharles Moore's bestselling and definitive biography of Britain's first female Prime Minister, now in a single volumeWith unparalleled authority and dramatic detail, Charles Moore's definitive biography of Margaret Thatcher presents the whole history of the woman who transformed Britain and the world. With unique access to Thatcher’s private and governmental papers and extensive interviews with her, her family, and colleagues, Moore gives readers an unsurpassed portrait of her early years, her rise to power and her revolutionary eleven and a half years as Prime Minister. He guides us through her economic battles to her zenith at the Falklands crisis, her extraordinary three election victories and her dramatic final days in office. Moore describes her sometimes combative relationships with senior colleagues – especially Geoffrey Howe, Nigel Lawson and Michael Heseltine - who contributed both to her rise and to her fall. He portrays the strength and importance of her relationship with Queen Elizabeth II, while offering a candid account of their difficulties. He also brilliantly conveys Thatcher’s pivotal role on the world stage – including in the ending of the Cold War, the fierce battle over the future of Europe, and her relationships with Reagan, Gorbachev, Bush, Kohl and Mandela. He shows how she was a pioneer – of privatization, which has since been copied all over the world, and as the first leader of a major state to understand climate change. He explains how ‘Thatcherism’ became a set of ideas both welcomed and contested across the world. Throughout, Moore illuminates the complexities of Thatcher’s character – her determination, boldness and the challenges she faced as a woman in a male-dominated political world - but is by no means uncritical. He shows what was remarkable about her and what was infuriating, her extraordinary strengths and sometimes surprising vulnerability. This edition, published to mark the centenary of Thatcher's birth, combines the insights of the original three volumes, providing a comprehensive portrait of one of the most influential figures of her age, whose life reminds us today of the power of great leadership.
