Los a os de Downing Street is a brilliant portrait of events and people during the first years of Margaret Thatcher's career as British Prime Minister. A towering figure of late-twentieth-century British politics, the woman who became known as the Iron Lady recounts her remarkable life in her own words. Her memoirs are a riveting first-hand portrait of the events and personalities of her eleven years in power. She recalls the triumphs and the critical moments of her premiership the Falklands War, the miners' strike, the Brighton bomb, the Westland Affair and her unprecedented three election victories. Her judgments of the men and women she encountered, whether world statesmen or Cabinet colleagues, are astonishingly frank. She is lavish with her praise; devastating with her criticism. The book reaches a gripping climax with an hour-by-hour description from inside 10 Downing Street of her dramatic final days in office. Margaret Thatcher's compelling account stands as a powerful testament to her influential legacy.
