About this Item
Description:
First edition of this early collection of speeches by Prime Minister Thatcher. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Margaret Thatcher on the front free endpaper. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first woman Prime Minister in 1979, a post she held for eleven and a half years. She was leader of the Conservative Party for fifteen years, from 1975 to 1990. She was the only British Prime Minister of the twentieth century to win three consecutive general elections. Her partnership with President Ronald Reagan was the driving force of a conservative revolution that transformed the political landscape of the West, achieved a crushing defeat of Communism, and so brought liberty and prosperity within the grasp of millions who had never known them.
