HarperPress The Downing Street Years

An absolute must read for an insight and an understanding of the the Thatcher years as prime minister.Whatever ones of opinions of the Thatcher governments, political scientists and historians cannot make any judgements without extensive reference to this particular piece of work.From a personal point of view, her revelations concerning the development of the European integrative process and her opposition to its direction is fundamental to providing an understanding as to why so many eventually came to support the UK’s eventual decision to leave.

Margaret Thatcher's Memoirs offer an insight that one could only imagine to be part of during any reign and fall of power. It is often hard to imagine the Iron Lady as any thing more than a politician, however this book gives an insight to her love of science, the arts and British Society.Whatever your opinions on the Iron Lady, this collection of memoirs is certainly important to any one with an interest in modern British politics and society, and once picked up it will be hard to put down.Incredibly well written with a formality but casual enough in style for mid-range readers.

Bought for my wife for Xmas but she has only just started reading it during lockdown. With 862 pages of small print we will need another lockdown or two to complete!However she is finding it very interesting and very well written. A fascinating insight into British politics.

Supremely self-confident, opinionated, very well written and fascinating.

Great quality second hand book - saved loads on buying new
