Lady Thatcher, a unique figure in global politics, shares her views about the dangers and opportunities of the new millennium.Lady Thatcher's previous books on her political career have been bestsellers, The Downing Street Years went to No.1. She is a unique world figure and this book, containing her views about the dangers and opportunities of the new millennium, will attract great interest both in Britain and around the world.In her own words:"I wanted to write one more book – and I wanted it to be about the future. In this age of spin-doctors and sound bites, the ever present danger is that leaders will follow fashion and not their instincts and beliefs. That was not how the West won the Cold War, not how we created the basis for today's freedom and prosperity. If we wish to make our achievements secure for our children and grandchildren, the West must stay vigilant and strong. In this book it will be my purpose to show that it can – and must- be done.”

A fascinating account of the journey towards number 10 Downing street read by Lady Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher's government was, she says, about the application of a philosophy, not the implementation of an administrative programme. These ideas and beliefs were propelled throughout her time in office by a forcefulness and conviction, particularly in critical moments in her premiership – the Falklands War, the miner's strike, the Brighton bomb and her three election...
Margaret Thatcher is the towering figure of late-twentieth-century British politics. No other prime minister of modern times has sought to change Britain and its place in the world as radically as she did. This is the story of her remarkable life in her own words – the definitive account of an extraordinary politician, published in a single volume for the first time.She writes candidly about the formation of her character and values, and the experiences that propelled her to the very top in a...
The definitive inside account of the Falklands War, written by Margaret Thatcher herself.On 21 May 1982, the British people watched with a mixture of pride and fear as their troops landed under heavy aerial bombardment at San Carlos Bay in the Falkland Islands. Since 1833 the islands had been under British sovereignty, and when Argentina launched a full-scale invasion on 2 April 1982 Margaret Thatcher decided to retaliate swiftly and aggressively. Over the following days a task force of 10,000...
First published in her pioneering treatise Statecraft, the opinions and projections of the former Prime Minister on Europe remain potent and resoundingly prophetic.Margaret Thatcher foresaw the European Union as a swelling superstate, gradually eroding Britain's freedom. Irreparable and doomed, European integration did not allow for the birthright of nationhood. It was the most recent incarnation of an idea that has been tried many times before, and the outcomes were far from happy. “During my...
Из предисловия: Необходимость в книге, в которой давалось бы систематическое изложение исторического материализма, давно назрела. Такая книга нужна студентам и преподавателям высших учебных заведении, а также многочисленным кадрам советской интеллигенции, самостоятельно изучающим основы марксистско-ленинской философской науки. Предлагаемая читателю книга, написанная авторским коллективом Института философии Академии наук СССР, представляет собой попытку дать более или менее полное изложение...
Эта книга – не набившие оскомину заклинания кремлевских горе-экономистов, вот уже 20 лет предсказывающих скорую «смерть доллара». Здесь нет ни политиканства, ни пропаганды, ни дешевого популизма – лишь реальная экономика и трезвый расчет, основанный на «теории сложности», которую применяют для прогнозирования землетрясений и социальных катаклизмов. Это – финансовое расследование одного из ведущих американских аналитиков, который просчитывает не просто агонию американской валюты, но крах всей...
