Author: MOORE, CHARLES
Not For Turning is the first volume of Charles Moore's authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher, the longest-serving Prime Minister of the twentieth century and one of the most influential political figures of the postwar era.
A Definitive Biography
Charles Moore's biography of Margaret Thatcher, published after her death on 8 April 2013, immediately supersedes all earlier books written about her. At the moment when she becomes a historical figure, this book also makes her into a three-dimensional one for the first time.
It provides unparalleled insight into:
- Her early life and formation, especially through her extensive correspondence with her sister, which Moore is the first author to draw on.
- The atmosphere of British politics during her rise to prominence.
This volume takes readers up to what was arguably the zenith of her power—victory in the Falklands, ending with the Falklands Dinner in Downing Street in November 1982.
A Balanced Perspective
Moore is clearly an admirer of his subject, but he does not shy away from:
- Criticizing her.
- Identifying weaknesses and mistakes where he feels it is justified.
Unmatched Access
Based on unrestricted access to all Lady Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews with her, and conversations with all her major colleagues, this biography offers:
- A fully rounded portrait of a towering figure of our times.
- The indispensable account of Margaret Thatcher's life and legacy.
