In 'Statecraft' Margaret Thatcher brings her unrivalled political experience to bear on the challenges of the new millennium. Reflecting on the lessons of the Cold War, she describes the foundations of American dominance and discusses its continuing role.She weighs in the balance the various fortunes of Russia,China,India and the Far East.She analyses the dangers posed by Balkan instability,rogue states, Islamic extremism and international terrorism - and suggests strategies to counter them.She also warns of the insidious extension of the power of institutions at the expense of nation states.On the same theme,she explains from first-hand experience the tensions that characterise Britain's relations with Europe and examines in clear terms the options now available.A powerful treatise delivered by a world figure with a unique combination of principle and shrewdness. Margaret Thatcher became Britain's first woman Prime Minister in 1979,a post she held for eleven and a half years.Her partnership with President Ronald Reagan was the driving force of a conservative revolution which transformed the political landscape of the West,achieved a crushing defeat of communism and so brought liberty and prosperity within the grasp of millions who had never known them. Since leaving office Lady Thatcher has written two volumes of memoirs ('The Downing Street Years' and 'The Path to Power').She has travelled extensively in America,Europe and Asia,delivering lectures on international issues and keeping in touch with world leaders.She also plays a continuing role in British political affairs. Margaret Hilda Thatcher (nee Roberts), Baroness Thatcher,LG,OM,PC,FRS.Born 13 October 1925 - died 8 April 2013,was a British Conservative Party politician who became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979 to 1990 and the Leader of the Conservative Party from 1975 to 1990.She was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century and is the only woman to have held the office.A Soviet journalist called her the 'Iron Lady',a nickname that became associated with her uncompromising politics and leadership style.And as Prime Minister,she implemented policies in a brand of politics that became to be known as 'Thatcherism'.
