It’s the book that took twenty-two years to write. The former editor of The Daily Telegraph started working on the third instalment of his biography of Margaret Thatcher while he was still in the post. He gives Christopher Hope an exclusive insight into his discoveries, and reveals how he was chosen to write the work by Mrs Thatcher herself.

Did her 1988 Bruges speech set Britain on the path to Brexit? What was her relationship like with her successor, John Major? And did she consider herself a feminist icon?

All is revealed within.
