Great Britain in the 1970s appeared to be in terminal
decline--ungovernable, an economic train wreck, and rapidly headed
for global irrelevance. Three decades later, it is the richest and
most influential country in Europe, and Margaret Thatcher is the
reason. The preternaturally determined Thatcher rose from nothing,
seized control of Britain's Conservative party, and took a
sledgehammer to the nation's postwar socialist consensus. She
proved that socialism could be reversed, inspiring a global
free-market revolution. Simultaneously exploiting every politically
useful aspect of her femininity and defying every conventional
expectation of women in power, Thatcher crushed her enemies with a
calculated ruthlessness that stunned the British public and without
doubt caused immense collateral damage.
Ultimately, however, Claire Berlinski agrees with Thatcher:
There was no alternative. Berlinski explains what Thatcher did, why
it matters, and how she got away with it in this vivid and
immensely readable portrait of one of the towering figures of the
twentieth century.
