Margaret Thatcher

Moore has finally completed one of the most thrilling, comprehensive, fair-minded and elegantly written biographies of modern times. It is full of complex argument, and a very large cast, but it is a joy to read. – Andrew Marr * New Statesman *

Reviewers are supposed never to use the word “definitive” about a history book or biograph, but with Charles Moore’s life of Margaret Thatcher, of which this is the triumphant last volume, one has no other option. … an absolute masterpiece of the biographer’s art.

– Andrew Roberts * Daily Telegraph *Moore’s Margaret Thatcher is one of the truly great biographies. Throughout the three volumes it has been comprehensive and subtle, breaking new ground while being surefooted on familiar terrain. He provides a portrait of Thatcher - her anxiousness and her certainty, her strength and her frailty - that is surprising and fresh while still convincing. This volume completes a historical masterpiece. – Daniel Finkelstein * The Times *Not merely the authorized biography, Moore’s is the definitive biography of Thatcher, and perhaps one of the definitive books about Britain in the late twentieth century. – Anne Applebaum * New York Review of Books *This is a magnificent political biography which takes its place next to Robert Blake’s Disraeli and Robert Caro’s Lyndon Johnson on the highest level. Outstanding… superb… extraordinarily compelling. – Philip Hensher * Spectator *Praise for the first two volumes * : *As close as biography can come to being a work of art – Craig Brown * Mail on Sunday *One of the great biographical achievements of our times – Dominic Sandbrook * Sunday Times *
