A skillful demolition of Margaret Thatchers record
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Ian Gilmour delivers a coup-de-grace to any sort of credibility Margaret Thatcher has post-Pinochet. She is shown to be dogmatic and narrow minded - and the mud sticks. Gilmour relentlessly chips away at the lies and half-truths of the Thatcher years - leaving the bare bones of failed policies and missed chances. Thatcherism is exposed as a historical anomaly - with no basis in the Conservative party of the UK but more in common with the US republican party. History has shown this book to be correct in a lot of it's assertions, particulary where it states that Thatcherism in fact never had a hold on the hearts of the majority of the British public - a fact born out by the speedy marginalisation of her since then. This book is one to make British right wingers squirm - and quite justifiably so. It is time to set the record straight, without the help of the Murdoch press.
