Educated at Cambridge University, the London School of Economics, and the University of California, Dr. Thompson lived in Cambridge and London during most of Thatcher’s time as prime minister, and experienced firsthand how she changed British history, becoming a lifelong Thatcherite. Well-written and entertaining, Gardiner's and Thompson's book reminds me why Margaret Thatcher was such an effective and consequential world leader. This welcome reminder, and the lessons therein, should be required reading by today's political leaders. But even if you don't happen to fall into that category, I'd urge you to read and enjoy this book! Niles and Thompson's first hand experiences and deep economic study during Britain's near-fatal miring in the quicksand of the Labour Party's socio-economic blundering Post WWII equipped them to ask ALL the right questions of PM Thatcher.The result: the most complete and transparent compendium of Lady Thatcher's leadership principles. Without the employment of those priceless principles by PM Thatcher & the Conservative Party, Great Britain was bankrupt TOAST !!Would-be American political leaders need to immediately digest this book, and hold it close to hearts and minds as a roadmap OUT of the economic morass created by the growth of SOCIALISM in the USA in the past 3/4 of a century.No better map will ever be available, and it's conveniently available just in the nick of time !!! Grab it ! Digest it ! Live it, serious Conservative leaders !jkmc There comes those very rare occasions when individuals share timely works that have the insight and potential to impact current issues. Gardiner and Thompson have accomplished just such an occasion. They have produced a must read for our future leaders and all who have a vested interest in solutions, not more crises. An excellent synopsis of the lessons that can (and should ) be learned from the experience of one of the great political leaders of our time.I bookmarked every page summarizing the leadership skills with which Margaret Thatcher saved Great Britain from spiraling into the morass and chaos of socialism, and with Ronald Reagan began the process of assigning communism to the "trash heap" of history.Pray that such a leader soon surfaces in the United States. Great book. Short and to the point. It gives Lessons for conservative free market economies and how a good leader can turn around a country or a group She exemplified courageous leadership, with her strong belief in religious values, which inspired others. She was a Leader, not a Follower. Her conservative policies on the economy and international relations are lessons to be learned by the US . In 1979 the UK was in great decline as we in US are now. We need a Thatcher today. The World at large is crying for strong leaders like Thatcher and Reagan. This book should be mandatory reading for every member of Congress!!!! Interesting book on Margaret Thatcher, good insight into a great leader and an inspirational look at her life and values. This book provides substantial new information about Mrs. Thatcher and her career. Very readable. If she could turn around Britain in the 70s it gives me hope that we can turn around the USA today. This book should be required reading for every member of Congress and every U.S. president.
