Description

Margaret Thatcher: The Authorized Biography, Volume One: Not For Turning by Charles Moore is a comprehensive and deeply personal portrait of one of the most influential political figures of the postwar era. Based on unrestricted access to Lady Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews with her and all her major colleagues, this book provides an unparalleled insight into her early life and formation. The biography recreates the atmosphere of British politics during Margaret Thatcher's rise to power, taking readers up to the Falklands Dinner in Downing Street in November 1982. Charles Moore draws on his extensive correspondence with Lady Thatcher's sister to give a unique perspective on her early years. While he is clearly an admirer of his subject, Moore also critiques her and identifies weaknesses and mistakes where justified. This first volume of Moore's authorized biography sets the standard for all other books written about Margaret Thatcher, making her into a three-dimensional figure for the first time. It is an indispensable portrait of a towering figure of our times.
