Love her or loathe her (and many do and always will) there is no denying Margaret Thatcher her place in history as one of the most influential Prime Ministers of the twentieth century. She won three General Elections as leader of the Conservative Party in 1979, 1983 and 1987, and fifteen years after she left office her figure still bestrides the political landscape, both in Britain and around the world. This lavishly illustrated tribute brings together personal reminiscences and anecdotes from more than a hundred political figures, whether friends or opponents, or observing her from the press gallery. Each contributor experienced a close encounter with the Iron Lady, among them Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, Bob Hawke, Michael Howard, William Hague, Ann Widdecombe, Edwina Currie, Alan Clark, Norman Tebbit, Geoffrey Howe, Boris Johnson, David Cameron, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and George W Bush.
