Thatcher Margaret The Downing Street Years
This first volume of Margaret Thatcher's memoirs, which encompasses the entirety of her career as Prime Minister. Margaret Thatcher was the towering figure of late-twentieth-century British politics. This is the story of her remarkable life in her own words. This first volume of her memoirs is a riveting first-hand portrait of the events and personalities of her eleven years in power. She recalls the triumphs and the critical moments of her premiership – the Falklands War, the miners' strike, the Brighton bomb, the Westland Affair and her unprecedented three election victories. Her judgements of the men and women she encountered, whether world statesmen or Cabinet colleagues, are astonishingly frank. She is lavish with her praise; devastating with her criticism. The book reaches a gripping climax with an hour-by-hour description from inside 10 Downing Street of her dramatic final days in office. Margaret Thatcher's compelling account stands as a powerful testament to her influential legacy.

Moore Charles Margaret Thatcher. The Authorized Biography. Volume One. Not For Turning
Not For Turning is the first volume of Charles Moore's authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher, the longest serving Prime Minister of the twentieth century and one of the most influential political figures of the postwar era. Charles Moore's biography of Margaret Thatcher, published after her death on 8 April 2013, immediately supersedes all earlier books written about her. At the moment when she becomes a historical figure, this book also makes her into a three dimensional one for the first time. It gives unparalleled insight into her early life and formation, especially through her extensive correspondence with her sister, which Moore is the first author to draw on. It recreates brilliantly the atmosphere of British politics as she was making her way, and takes her up to what was arguably the zenith of her power, victory in the Falklands. (This volume ends with the Falklands Dinner in Downing Street in November 1982.) Moore is clearly an admirer of his subject, but he does not shy away from criticising her or identifying weaknesses and mistakes where he feels it is justified. Based on unrestricted access to all Lady Thatcher's papers, unpublished interviews with her and all her major colleagues, this is the indispensable, fully rounded portrait of a towering figure of our times.

Moore Charles Margaret Thatcher. The Authorized Biography. Volume One. Not for Turning
With unequalled authority and dramatic detail, Charles Moore's authorized biography of Margaret Thatcher now reveals as never before the early life, rise to power and first years as Prime Minister of the woman who transformed Britain and the world in the late twentieth century. Moore has had unique access to all Margaret Thatcher's private and governmental papers and interviewed her and her family extensively for this book. Many of her former colleagues and intimates have also shown him previously unseen papers, diaries and letters, and spoken frankly to him, knowing that what they said would not be published until after her death. The book immediately supersedes all other biographies and sheds much new light over the whole spectrum of British political life from her entry into Parliament in 1959 to what was arguably the zenith of her power - victory in the Falklands in 1982. Among the highlights of the book is an extraordinary cache of letters to her sister Muriel illuminating her young life: her relationship with her parents; her preoccupation with clothes; her early romantic attachments; her first impressions of Denis Thatcher; their courtship and marriage. The book brilliantly depicts her determination and boldness from the very beginning of her political career. It gives the fullest and most exciting account yet of her wresting the Tory leadership from Ted Heath at a time when no senior figure in the party would challenge him. Not least, it makes plain the degree to which, two years into government, she was beleaguered and her days were widely believed to be numbered. Running throughout is her experience of being a woman in politics when it was still overwhelmingly a man's world. Charles Moore clearly admires his subject, but is by no means uncritical. He shows what was remarkable about her and what was infuriating, her extraordinary strengths and sometimes surprising vulnerability, more convincingly than any previous account. At the moment when Margaret Thatcher becomes a historical figure, Moore's biography does magnificent justice to its subject.

Hale Don Murder in the Graveyard
A gripping true crime investigation into the longest miscarriage of justice in British legal history. In September 1973, Stephen Downing was convicted and indefinitely sentenced for the murder of Wendy Sewell, a young legal secretary in the town of Bakewell in the Peak District. Wendy was attacked in broad daylight in Bakewell Cemetery. Stephen Downing, the 17-year-old groundskeeper with learning difficulties and a reading age of 11, was the primary suspect. He was immediately arrested, questioned for nine hours, without a solicitor present, and pressured into signing a confession full of words he did not understand. 21 years later, local newspaper editor Don Hale was thrust into the case. Determined to take it to appeal, as he investigated the details, he found himself inextricably linked to the narrative. He faced obstacles at every turn, and suffered several attempts on his life. All of this merely strengthened his resolve: why should anyone threaten him if Downing had committed the crime? In 2002, Stephen Downing was finally acquitted, having served 27 years in prison. Immerse yourself in this masterful account of Hale’s long, dedicated and often dangerous campaign to rescue a long-forgotten victim of the British legal system; the longest miscarriage of justice in British history.
