Description
Margaret Thatcher's legacy remains fiercely contested, yet assessments of her era often lack historical context. This book brings together leading historians to explore the complex factors that shaped Thatcherism and its impact on modern Britain. The authors examine the social and economic crises of the 1970s, Britain's relationships with Europe, the Commonwealth, and the United States, and the experiences of Thatcherism in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. They assess the effects of the Thatcher era on class and gender, situating it within the Cold War, the end of Empire, and the rise of an Anglo-American 'New Right'. By drawing on the latest available sources, this book opens a wide-ranging debate about the Thatcher era and its place in modern British history.
