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. Ian Gilmour's previous books include The Body Politic, Inside Right and Britain Can Work.
