Margaret Thatcher is a 20thC icon.There is no denying her place in history as one of Britain's greatest peacetime Prime Ministers.Fifteen years after she left office,her figure still bestrides the political scene, both in Britain and around the world.
Margaret Thatcher was elected to Parliament in 1959.Twenty years later she became Britain's first woman Prime Minister.She went on to convincingly win two further terms in office,making her one of Britain's longest-serving Conservative Prime ministers.She resigned in November 1990 and has seldom been out of the public eye since.
'Margaret Thatcher - A Tribute in Words and Pictures' brings together 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 many others,Henry Kissinger, Helmut Kohl,Ronld Reagan,Geoffrey Howe, Cecil Parkinson,David Davis,Shimon Peres, Ruud Lubbers,Michael Howard,Norman Lamont, Michael Brunson,Peter Lilley and Matthew Parris.
Amusing,revealing,sympathetic and occasionally antagonistic,these observations combine to give a unique portrait of the political and personal life of this formidable woman.
The book also contains the most sumptuous collection of photographs of Margaret Thatcher ever seen,providing a unique perspective of her life and career.
Margaret Hilda Thatcher (nee Roberts), Baroness Thatcher,LG,OM,PC,FRS.Born 13 October 1925 - died 8 April 2013,was a British Conservative Party politician who became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990.She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office.A Soviet journalist called her the 'Iron Lady',a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style.And as Prime Minister,she implemented policies in a brand of politics that became to be known as 'Thatcherism'.
