    Best Thatcher Biography Yet!
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2014*

I've read a few biographies on Margaret Thatcher to include her autobiography as well as her official biography by Charles Moore but I enjoyed and appreciated Margaret Thatcher: Power and Personality far more than those earlier reads primarily as a result of my perspective as an American not as familiar with the details of British politics and policy.  Had I been a UK resident who lived through the current events and observed the media coverage I would've understood and likely better related to those other works a bit better.However I didn't find my American perspective to be as much of a barrier in reading Aitken's work.  First, as the title states, he focused on Thatcher's personality and human traits something which we can all identify with and universally relate.  Second, he consistently provided the background or summary of the events in question making it unnecessary to be grounded in UK current events to understand the context.Finally as an elected official I especially appreciated Aitken's view of Thatcher both as a fellow Conservative Party member and  member of Parliament who knows first hand and expertly captures the pressures of elected office and its influence on one's actions and decisions.  I also appreciated that he personally knew Prime Minister Thatcher to include dating the Thatchers' daughter Carol - a unique perspective that other authors cannot replicate.

    As advertised: thoughtful insights into Thatcher's personality as biography.
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2016*

This book, by a Conservative MP, did a very good job of revealing Margaret Thatcher's personality, both on her qualities that led to her rise in Tory leadership during a time of great confusion and uncertainty in the U.K., as well as the hubris the was responsible for her downfall.  Indeed, the latter truth made for sad reading, as the author documented Thatcher's fall at the hands of her Cabinet--a scenario that never should have developed if Thatcher had only paid better attention to back-room politics and basic human relations to those she led and gave responsibility to.  Generally, this is an engaging and well-researched read, though it also draws on the author's personal experiences with Thatcher and many of the principals involved.  My only complaint is the repetition of certain phrases like "chalk-and-cheese" or "hubris" that get repeated way more than necessary in this book.

    Sharp lady, sharp book
  

*by T***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016*

Really enjoyed this book. I did have to stop reading and go educate myself on how British government is structured. I knew our (American) government was patterned after Britain, but was ignorant of the details. I found myself getting very lost, so I had to spend some time understanding the structure and nuances of British government before I could enjoy this book.This is an honest, sweeping, stunning portrayal of Thatcher and her life from childhood to death. It covers everything from the early childhood forces that shaped her, her constant fight to break into a man's world, her forceful personality, her political beliefs and many of the politicians who both aided and hindered her. It spares no punches so you see Mrs. Thatcher in both good and bad light.I would highly recommend this book.
