Very well written potted and personal view of Maggie Thatcher which brought out a wide range of observations and factors that I was unaware of. However, I did not live there in that period but would have spent a total of about 6 years there in visits of various length preceding her reign and after it so I have but passing familiarity and can't vouch for the details that Ferguson presents.She did galvanise the nation and changed its direction. He corrects many of the misquotes attributed to Thatcher and puts others in the context in which they were originally given and from which they have been lifted and distorted for the user's own purposes.It's very well worth reading in its own right or as a jumping off point to explore further.
