Margaret Thatcher's Revolution of 1979? (book review)
Margaret Thatcher was one of the more important Prime Ministers of the twentieth century, particularly the second half. While it is too early to fully assess or begin to assess (in my opinion) the effect of her premiership, this extended essay of books by Kenneth Harris, Hugo Young, Kenneth Minogue and Michael Biddess, and Peter Jenkins offers a starting point for what is <i>now</i> a very tentative and incomplete historical account, but what will eventually be further completed by historians.
