Personnage emblématique d’un certain conservatisme anglo-saxon, Margaret Thatcher est le Premier ministre britannique qui a le plus empreint son pays depuis Churchill. Jacques Leruez retrace la vie et le parcours politique mouvementé de la Dame de fer, dont il donne un portrait contrasté. Il raconte comment sa personnalité psychologique et sa compréhension du contexte politique britannique des années 1960 et 1970 lui ont permis une ascension fulgurante et une longue carrière à la tête du pays. Premier ministre pendant près de douze ans, elle a fait subir à la société britannique de considérables changements politiques, économiques et sociaux, et marqué la politique de l’Union européenne. Avec le recul, quel bilan peut-on tirer de son expérience gouvernementale et de sa politique étrangère, notamment européenne, écartelée entre la tradition pragmatique et ses convictions personnelles ? Et comment expliquer que le thatchérisme, moment incontournable dans l’histoire britannique, continue de marquer aussi puissamment les esprits et les manières de gouverner la Grande-Bretagne d’aujourd’hui ?

"A connection between Thatcherite and Reaganite domestic policy is often assumed by historians. The two political leaders are commonly viewed in the same 'New Right' context. Yet, although there was an alignment - and this study shows how the two administrations cited developments across the Atlantic in justification of their respective policy agendas - it is clear that this shared context was often only in terms of rhetoric and presentation rather than in policy. In this ground-breaking study, containing over thirty interviews with key protagonists, James Cooper explores a more complex relationship between Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in the 1980s; he reveals the strengths and weaknesses of their political bonds, and shows that their fortunes, whilst in concurrent power, offered a crucial mutual validation as they sought to 'roll back the state."--P. [4] of cover.

Margaret Thatcher was one of the most controversial figures of modern times. Her governments inspired hatred and veneration in equal measure and her legacy remains fiercely contested. Yet assessments of the Thatcher era are often divorced from any larger historical perspective. This book draws together leading historians to locate Thatcher and Thatcherism within the political, social, cultural and economic history of modern Britain. It explores the social and economic crises of the 1970s; Britain's relationships with Europe, the Commonwealth and the United States; and the different experiences of Thatcherism in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The book assesses the impact of the Thatcher era on class and gender and situates Thatcherism within the Cold War, the end of Empire and the rise of an Anglo-American 'New Right'. Drawing on the latest available sources, it opens a wide-ranging debate about the Thatcher era and its place in modern British history.
