Memories of Margaret Thatcher: A Portrait, by Those Who Knew Her Best

There is no denying Margaret Thatcher's 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. This volume brings together over two hundred personal reminiscences and anecdotes from those who experienced close encounters with the Iron Lady, including President Ronald Reagan. Amusing, revealing, sympathetic, and occasionally antagonistic, these observations combine to give a unique portrait of the political and personal life of a remarkable woman.
