Description
Book SynopsisA book about Margaret Thatcher by award-winning biographer Brenda Maddox.
Trade ReviewElegantly written...what makes Brenda Maddox's biography so compelling is the interweaving of the personal and political. Perhaps the most rounded profile yet of this unique woman. * Birmingham Post *
There are new insights...Maddox paints a vivid picture of the very different world of a provincial town in the 1930s. Equally vivid is the account of Thatcher's first attempt to enter parliament at the 1950 general election. * Financial Times *
The story of Alderman Roberts's daughter may hardly be new but Maddox tells it with pace and verve...(she) is good, too, on Thatcher's Oxford career. This is a racily paced tale of what is essentially the private side of a public career. * Anthony Howard, The Sunday Times *
A good read. Its descriptions of the affection between Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis and of the support he gave her are accurate and sympathetic. * Norman Tebbit, Evening Standard *
