Thatcher provides an accessible and scholarly introduction to the
personality and career of Britain's first female political leader
and the twentieth century's longest serving Prime Minister.
Providing a balanced narrative and assessment of one of the most
significant figures of the post-war era, this new biography
examines the reasons why Margaret Thatcher has been admired by many
as an architect of national revival, yet loathed by others as the
author of widening social and geographical division. The book
begins by examining the making of Margaret Thatcher, her education,
the beginning of her political career and her rise through the
Conservative Party to her appointment as unexpected leader. Moving
on to her tenure as Prime Minister, Graham Goodlad then examines
her impact at home and abroad, covering her controversial economic
policies and hard line with the trade unions, leadership through
the Falklands conflict and during the last decade of the Cold War,
and influence on Britain's relationship with a more closely
integrated Europe. Finally, the biography closes with a review of
Thatcher's legacy before and after her death in April 2013, and
considers how far she shaped the politics and society of the 1980s
and those of our own time. Thatcher is essential reading for all
students of twentieth-century history and politics.
