Description
Lady Thatcher, a unique figure in global politics, shares her views about the dangers and opportunities of the new millennium. 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. Sorry! Book description for this title is not available.
