All royalties donated to the Margaret Thatcher Foundation. Margaret
Thatcher is a British icon. There is no denying her place in
history as Britain's greatest peacetime Prime Minister. The
reaction to her death confirms that twenty-three years after
leaving office she still bestrides the political scene, both in
Britain and around the world, like a colossus. Margaret Thatcher
was elected to Parliament in 1959. Twenty years later she became
Britain's first woman Prime Minister. She achieved two further
landslide election victories, making her the longestserving British
Prime Minister since Lord Liverpool. She resigned in November 1990
after eleven-and-a-half years at the pinnacle of British politics.
Memories of Margaret Thatcher brings together over 200 personal
reminiscences and anecdotes from those who - whether political
friends or opponents, observing her from the press gallery or
toiling to keep her flame alight in the constituencies -
experienced close encounters with the Iron Lady. They include,
among others, Ronald Reagan, Helmut Kohl, Norman Tebbit, Cecil
Parkinson, Matthew Parris, Michael Howard, Paddy Ashdown, Adam
Boulton, Lord Ashcroft, Sebastian Coe, Boris Johnson, Ann
Widdecombe, William Hague, Sir Bernard Ingham, Barbara Taylor
Bradford, Esther Rantzen, Dame Ann Leslie, David Davis, Liam Fox
and many more. Amusing, revealing, sympathetic and occasionally
antagonistic, these observations combine to give a unique portrait
of the political and personal life of a remarkable woman. They show
the deeply private and compassionate nature of a woman who will
forever be known as the Iron Lady.
