Margaret Thatcher
The second volume of John Campbell’s biography of Margaret Thatcher, covering her years in Downing Street from 1979 to 1990 and her long afterlife in politics. It is a balanced account of the Falklands, the miners’ strike, privatisation, Europe and her fall.

Yes, but what Campbell manages to do is be reasoned in his criticism, not just vitriolic and hostile. It is a very nuanced insight into Thatcher. Now, of course, when Thatcher dies we will get the two-volume biography from Charles Moore, which has the superb Daniel Collings as the senior researcher. This is going to have a flood of information in it and it will be immensely exciting when that book comes out.
