The story of Margaret Thatcher's post-premiership is a tale of high drama and low farce, of neon and nuance, of triumph and turbulence. At its heart is one extraordinary human being - a heroic woman, carrying on regardless. No longer in office but never really out of power, after Downing Street, Lady Thatcher went on fulfilling her life's destiny: being herself and playing the character that was Margaret Thatcher, not just in the United Kingdom but all around the world. In her centenary year, this book provides a radical reassessment of how Lady Thatcher's 'premier emeritus' years have been viewed to date. Covering the four main areas of her work after Downing Street - philosophy, party, policy and performance - and analysing her continued influence on the Conservative leaders and the Prime Ministers of all parties who followed her, it demonstrates why Margaret Thatcher is still big.
