In 1981, Margaret Thatcher faced the greatest challenge of her premiership. The no hope budget delivered by Chancellor Geoffrey Howe in March marked the beginning of a six-month period which saw pressures in Northern Ireland, hunger strikes, urban riots and unprecedented unrest within the Conservative Party. Eminent historian Kwasi Kwarteng here captures her unique leadership qualities, from the pulpit style and the Old Testament imagery to the emphasis on personal moral responsibility, in some of the most adverse conditions facing any statesman in modern peacetime. It is a brilliant study of one of the historic leaders of our time.
A fascinating examination of the leadership of Britain's most controversial post-war Prime Minister from acclaimed historian Kwasi Kwarteng
