Diese Autorin wurde für ihren kompromisslosen politischen Stil bekannt, der ihr den Spitznamen „Eiserne Lady“ einbrachte. Ihre Amtszeit war geprägt von einer langen Zeit an der Macht und der Entschlossenheit, ihre Visionen trotz erheblichen Widerstands umzusetzen. Ihre Beiträge zum politischen Diskurs und ihr Einfluss auf die moderne britische Geschichte sind weiterhin Gegenstand von Debatten und Analysen. Sie schrieb mit einer Überzeugung und Kraft, die im politischen Spektrum Anklang fand.
Auch im zweiten Band der Thatcher-Erinnerungen erhält der Leser Einblick in die Gedankenwelt der ehemaligen britischen Staatschefin. Margaret Thatcher zeigt auf, welche Erlebnisse und Erfahrungen sie geprägt haben, erzählt von ihrer Studienzeit in Oxford, von ihrer Tätigkeit als Wissenschaftlerin, ihrer Heirat und vom Beginn ihrer politischen Karriere.
Die Erinnerungen der ersten britischen Premierministerin an ihre 11 Regierungsjahre von 1979-1990 bieten einen Blick hinter die Kulissen der Weltpolitik.
In this British bestseller, Thatcher brings her unrivaled political experience to bear on the threats that democracy faces at the dawn of the new millennium and the role Western powers should play in the world's hotspots, especially in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. 8-page photo insert.
Margaret Thatcher, arguable the most significant figure of the late-twentieth-century British politics, died on 8 April 2013. Combining and abridging her memoirs 'The Path to Power' and 'The Downing Street Years', this definitive account of Margaret Thatcher's life is published as a one volume commemorative edition.
Britain's first female Prime Minister - and the only British Prime Minister of the 20th century to win three consecutive general elections - shares her story as only she can in this engaging memoir.
Lady Thatcher, a unique figure in global politics, shares her views about the dangers and opportunities of the new millennium. In her own words: I wanted to write one more book and I wanted it to be about the future. In this age of spin-doctors and sound bites, the ever present danger is that leaders will follow fashion and not their instincts and beliefs. That was not how the West won the Cold War, not how we created the basis for today's freedom and prosperity. If we wish to make our achievements secure for our children and grandchildren, the West must stay vigilant and strong. In this book it will be my purpose to show that it can - and must - be done.
First published in her pioneering treatise Statecraft, the opinions and projections of the former Prime Minister on Europe remain potent and resoundingly prophetic. Margaret Thatcher foresaw the European Union as a swelling superstate, gradually eroding Britain's freedom. Irreparable and doomed, European integration did not allow for the birthright of nationhood. It was the most recent incarnation of an idea that has been tried many times before, and the outcomes were far from happy. During my lifetime, she says, most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or other, from mainland Europe, and the solutions from outside it.
