Three stories run through the whole book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first is Mrs Thatcher's dominance of her government in almost every domestic field, but also her growing intolerance of dissent, the increasing alienation of her most senior ministers over Europe, and the fatal corrosion which followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe second is her commanding presence on the world stage (including relations with Reagan, Gorbachev, Bush, Kohl, and Mandela), her role in the ending of the Cold War, her central position in the response to the invasion of Kuwait, and her increasing isolation as America's priorities in Europe changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third is how she, a woman, coped and led in political worlds almost entirely occupied by men.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe three stories come dramatically together in the autumn of 1990 when, at the moment of greatest domestic danger, she travelled to Paris to participate in the ceremonies ending the Cold War. The chapters here on her fall are, in their drama, unmatched in modern political biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46374153781484,"sku":"9780141986920","price":41.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14671183482238.jpg?v=1744824101","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/margaret-thatcher-by-charles-moore-9780141986920","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
