About
Join renowned broadcaster, writer and political commentator Iain Dale as he discusses his new biography of Margaret Thatcher.
In this incisive and highly readable account, Dale explores the paradoxes that defined Thatcher's leadership: a conviction politician who could be pragmatic, a feared cabinet leader who gave her ministers surprising freedom, and a champion of free markets who wasn't afraid of state intervention when it suited her aims.
From her role in reshaping Britain's economic and political landscape to her place on the world stage during the Cold War, Dale offers fresh insight into the legacy of the 'Iron Lady' – and introduces her to a new generation of readers navigating the Britain she helped to shape.
Don't miss this chance to hear from one of the UK's most respected broadcast commentators as he brings history, politics and personality vividly to life.
