To mark the sad passing of former Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher and to celebrate the incomparable
career of this colossus of British and global politics,
Memories of Margaret Thatcher brings together
personal reminiscences and anecdotes from more than
a hundred political figures. Each
contributor experienced a close encounter with the Iron
Lady, among them Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev,
Bob Hawke, Boris Johnson, Arnold Schwarzenegger,
Michael Howard, William Hague, Ann Widdecombe,
Edwina Currie, Alan Clark, Norman Tebbit and Geoffrey
Howe, whose resignation speech in Parliament can be
said to have brought to a dramatic end the Thatcher
Era.
