Review:

"John Campbell succeeds brilliantly with this second volume of his biography of Britain's first woman prime minister. His account - compelling, often exhilarating and, in its closing pages, genuinely moving - portrays Thatcher's political career as a tragedy worthy of Shakespeare" -- John Willman * Financial Times * "Anyone who wants to know what really happened between 1979 and 1990 should read this book" -- John Rentoul * Daily Telegraph * "A brilliantly researched, thoroughly sourced version of the most remarkable premiership of our time" -- Huw Edwards * Books of the Year, The Times * "'An enormously useful achievement... every twist and turn of her political life is here'" * The Times * "'I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and indeed arguing with it, because it has reminded me why so many of us would never have wanted her to give up'" -- William Hague * Daily Telegraph *
