About this Item

Hardback. This book is very far from a conventional political autobiography. Norman Tebbit by no means comes from a traditional Conservative background. His parents were far from aristocratic and his ides of what life would be like for ordinary people were dictated by his own experiences. Ponders End, where he was born in 1932, was a poor north London suburb, even before the Depression, and his father was a jeweller and pawnbroker. In fascinating glimpses behind the scenes, Norman Tebbit reveals the true story of Mrs. Thatcher's rise to power and the vital part he played. As Secretary of State for Employment and subsequently Trade and Industry, be began the revolution which has changed the way in which industry is organised and irreversibly transformed British society. Norman Tebbit's own account of the horrific IRA bombing in Brighton in which he and his wife almost lost their lives is both profoundly moving and highly dramatic. As Chairman of the Conservative Party, he was at the centre of the campaign which gave Mrs. Thatcher in 1987 her third electoral victory. Illustrated with B/W photos. 280 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
