Gives a left-wing conservative assessment of Thatcherism in action - as ideology, style, monarchy, millenarianism, 19th-century liberalism, a set of moral values, right-wingery, or as a combination of them all - and its affects on the country and on tory policy during Thatcher's 11-year reign.;This study gives a left-wing conservative assessment of Thatcherism in action - as ideology, style, monarchy, millenarianism, 19th-century liberalism, a set of moral values, right-wingery, or as a combination of them all - and its effects on the country and on Tory policy during Thatcher's 11-year reign.;While it gives Mrs Thatcher credit for her achievements, it is an anti-Thatcher study written from a conservative point of view, by someone who observed her at close quarters throughout the period - he was a cabinet minister in the Heath cabinet and in Mrs Thatcher's government until he was sacked in 1981.
