Drawing on diaries he kept throughout his stint as Margaret Thatcher's Head Of Policy, Sir John takes us behind the scenes to show us how the Thatcher revolution was planned and executed. It is an intensly dramatic story and involves fierce battles within the shadow cabinet of the late 70's.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Hoskyns became the first head of Margaret Thatcher's Policy Unit at No. 10. He has just written a very revealing book about it all,drawing on his diaries of the period...There were many 'unthinkable' things thought by Hoskyns, The Centre for Policy Studies and other architects of the 'Thatcher revolution'. -- Charles Moore, editor of The Daily Telegraph, October 2000
[John Hoskyns'] book captures the hangdog spirit of a British Establishment policing the metaphors and excuses for the decline of Britain...[the present Government's] ministers would be well advised to read this book to be reminded how poor, dingy and downbeat Britain was before the 1980s revolution. -- John Redwood, The Times, February 2001
[The] book will fascinate those who like to delve into the nitty-gritty...It contains some spiky portraits of colleagues, and acerbic comments on the wheels of state and those who turn them. -- Jim Hoskin, The Financial Times, November 2000
