This book is one of the most interesting political autobiographies I have read (and I've read many of them). I must confess that interest was intensified due to the fact that I worked in the House of Commons during her tenure in office, and indeed worked during the 1987 General Election for two Conservative Members of Parliament (David Amess of Basildon and David Evennett of Erith & Crayford--yes, I know, you've likely never heard of either of them).

A boastful book with evidence of self-criticism extremely hard to find, rather reminiscent of a Harry Flashman novel. A detailed knowledge of World History is definitely required in order to gauge the correct dosage of salt with which to take certain passages. The writing style disappoints immensely, and gives the clear impression that her famous speeches and quotes were actually written for her. Were it not for the contentious nature of some of the contents the book would be an indescribably boring ... Read More
