Thatcher is an extremely fascinating woman (I say this as a centre-left leaning person).

If you're looking for a very balanced view of her rise to power, exercise of it, then fall go on youtube and search for the 3 part BBC series "Tory! Tory! Tory!". It's amazing anybody, let alone a woman, pulled through it all (she had exceptionally good luck with timing, especially in her early PM years).

And it's worth noting, that Charles Moore's biography is about as far away from balanced as you could possibly hope to find.

As I clicked the link, I wondered what strange Forth construct was dubbed a "Margaret Thatcher". Turns out I had the wrong Charles Moore.

Me too. Why is this on Hacker News?
