Based on unrestricted access to all Lady Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews with her and all her major colleagues, this is the indispensable portrait of a towering figure of our times.
Charles Moore was born in 1956 and educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read History. He joined the staff of the Daily Telegraph in 1979, and as a political columnist in the 1980s covered several years of Mrs Thatcher's first and second governments. He was Editor of the Spectator 1984-90; Editor of the Sunday Telegraph 1992-95; and Editor of the Daily Telegraph 1995-2003, for which he is still a regular columnist. He is married, with a grown-up son and daughter, and lives in Sussex. The first volume of his biography of Margaret Thatcher, published in 2013, won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, the HW Fisher Best First Biography Prize and Political Book of the Year at the Paddy Power Political Book Awards.
Moore has produced a biography so masterly ... that it comes as
close as biography can come to being a work of art
*Mail on Sunday*
Moore's great gift is his ability to make Thatcher's story fresh
again, and above all to remind us of how odd she was ... the access
to her family and friends enabled Moore to produce a multifaceted
picture of a compelling life ... [this] will now become the
definitive account
*Daily Telegraph*
Intricate, elegant and laced with dry humour
*Observer*
Outstandingly good
*Evening Standard*
