Summary:

This authoritative collection of fifty-seven of the most important speeches by Lady Thatcher, accompanied by commentary from one of her closest advisers, offers a profound insight into the mind and heart of the former British prime minister. Margaret Thatcher put intense effort into her major speeches. As a result, they provide unique insight into how she developed the clear vision that would transform Britain and shape international politics in the late twentieth century. The collection begins with the speeches she made as part of her early campaign to mold the ideas of the Conservative Party in Opposition. It continues with the famous addresses in which she expressed her convictions as prime minister and includes recent - and controversial - thoughts about the world today.
