I've waiting for a good review of the Thatcher years for some time - and this is a good survey. Vinen considers whether there really was such a thing as "Thatcherism" - and decides there wasn't. He is good on Thatcher's response to Europe and of course on the conflict with the trades unions generally and the miners in particular. For those of us were there its a good and clear sighted review of both the causes of Thatcher's policies and their effects ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Britain's first female prime minister remains a political figure of almost mythical proportions. Margaret Thatcher divided a political nation, became a cultural icon, and was the longest-serving prime minister of the twentieth century. Her period in government coincided with extraordinary changes in British society and in Britain's place in the world. Thatcher's Britaintells the story of Thatcherism for a generation with no personal memories of the 80s, as well as for those who want to revisit the polemics of their youth. It seeks to rescue Thatcher from being seen as John the Baptist for Tony Blair, stresses that Thatcherism was not a timeless phenomenon, but rooted in the 70s and 80s, and focuses our attention away from her legend, to what her government actually did during this tumultuous period in British history.
