A strong and sometimes divisive figure in British and world politics, Margaret Thatcher was the longest-serving British Prime Minister in the 20th century and the only woman to ever hold the office. Drawing from an abundance of new, previously unpublished material from the Thatcher Archive at Churchill College, Cambridge, Jonathan Aitken's fresh and original biography is a lively and perceptive exploration of the personality that dominated Conservative British politics for more than 10 years and her profound and worldwide impact on the historical tapestry of her time. Aitken spent forty years with Thatcher, some of it as a member of her cabinet, and much of the time as a close family friend. This book is the nearest anyone has come to date to understanding her psychology and her unique capacity to exercise power. At once positive and critical in its assessment of her governance, "Margaret Thatcher: Power and Personality" is crafted from the author's longtime personal relationship with his subject, his eyewitness account of public and private episodes in her life, and more than 100 interviews with the former Prime Minister's political colleagues and close personal friends. Penetrating and insightful, it chronicles one of the most remarkable political lives of our time.
