Few modern women have had as great a political impact as Margaret Hilda Roberts, the grocer's daughter from Grantham who, as Margaret Thatcher, became Britain's first woman prime minister. The longest serving British premier of the twentieth century, Mrs Thatcher has been the subject of both adulation and vilification. In this book, the author sets Margaret Thatcher in the context of recent British history. With elegance, wit, and historical insight, he charts Mrs Thatcher's upbringing and influences, her political career and life after politics, the impact of her policies, and her personal reputation and political legacy. The book also features a glossary of key terms, a chronology, a 'dramatis personae' of significant figures of the period, and a guide to further reading.

Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington, lives on in popular memory as the "Invincible General," loved by his men, admired by his peers, formidable to his opponents. This incisive book revises such a portrait, offering an accurate-and controversial-new analysis of Wellington's remarkable military career. Unlike his nemesis Napoleon, Wellington was by no means a man of innate military talent, Huw J. Davies argues. Instead, the key to Wellington's military success was an exceptionally keen understanding of the relationship between politics and war. Drawing on extensive primary research, Davies discusses Wellington's military apprenticeship in India, where he learned through mistakes as well as successes how to plan campaigns, organize and use intelligence, and negotiate with allies. In India Wellington encountered the constant political machinations of indigenous powers, and it was there that he apprenticed in the crucial skill of balancing conflicting political priorities. In later campaigns and battles, including the Peninsular War and Waterloo, Wellington's genius for strategy, operations, and tactics emerged. For his success in the art of war, he came to rely on his art as a politician and tactician. This strikingly original book shows how Wellington made even unlikely victories possible-with a well-honed political brilliance that underpinned all of his military achievements.

La 4e de couverture indique : "Hiver 1979. L'Angleterre travailliste est paralysée par des grèves massives. L'électricité est souvent coupée, les corps s'entassent dans les morgues, le chaos s'installe. Le 3 mai 1979, Margaret Thatcher est élue avec un vigoureux programme conservateur et libéral. Onze ans plus tard, en novembre 1990, elle est renversée par son propre parti. Son gouvernement aura été le plus long du XXe siècle. Entre ces deux dates, le Royaume-Uni est bouleversé : syndicats réduits au silence, contrôle des changes aboli, économie privatisée, vieilles industries dévastées, croissance des services. A l'étranger, que ce soit aux Malouines, en Europe, ou dans le monde, l'Union Jack a retrouvé ses couleurs. Partout la " Dame de fer " fait entendre sa voix. Cette biographie, la première publiée en France depuis 1991, met en lumière une réforme qui aurait semblé impensable en 1979, mais aussi une vie qui ressemble à un roman. Fille d'un petit épicier de Grantham, Lady Thatcher finit à la Chambre des Lords comblée d'honneurs. Tel est l'objet de ce livre : rendre compte d'un destin, d'un projet et d'une politique avec ses succès et ses échecs. Bref, rendre compte d'une personnalité contestée et contestable, mais essentielle, et qui ne cesse de hanter notre époque."
