Review of Books
A model political biography, admirably organized, intellectually serious and narrated with an appreciation of the drama contained in the retaking of Britain by so formidable a personage We can be grateful for Mr. Young's book, indispensable to understanding Mrs. Thatcher, and a penetrating record of what Britain has been, and has become, during the 1980's. —william pfaff, The New York
Times Book Review
An outstanding book that brilliandy transcends the ephem-eralities of journalism. It will remain required reading for as long as Thatcher continues to fascinate contemporaries and intrigue posterity, which means for a very long time indeed. — david cannadine, The New Republic
