Description: Woodrow Wyatt's relationship as advisor to Margaret Thatcher provides the focus of these journals. Entries in the first volume give the inside story concerning, for example, the Westland affair, the Thatcher election campaign in 1987, and the groundswell of unease with the Thatcher leadership. The second volume spans the years 1989-92 and covers such events as: the fall of Thatcher (to whom Wyatt was very close) and the rise of John Major, culminating in the Tory victory at the 1992 General Election.
