βThis very well-researched, well-written and fascinating book explodes a large number of myths about the post-Downing Street life of Britainβs greatest peacetime premier of the twentieth century. A joy to read.β Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny, on 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street'.
βThis fascinating and entertaining study of Margaret Thatcherβs life after Downing Street shines a revelatory spotlight on the character, conduct and consequence of Lady Thatcher as a former Prime Minister and illustrates why she remained and remains an unrivalled political force.β Iain Dale, broadcaster and author of Margaret Thatcher on 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street'
βThere were always two Thatchers: Margaret, and the idea of Margaret. She herself was apt to confuse them. With great thoughtfulness and much research, Peter Just pursues both through the years that β as he shows β were not the twilight we had supposed.β Matthew Parris, The Times on 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street'
βMargaret Thatcher spent twice as long as a post-premier as she did in Downing Street. No one since Churchill has commanded so much presence on the world stage after they retired or been such a presence in British politics. This lively and stimulating book is long overdue.β Anthony Seldon, author of The Impossible Office? The History Of The British Prime Minister on 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street'
π Published by @bitebackpublishing.bsky.social in July, 'Margaret Thatcher: Life After Downing Street' has had endorsements from Andrew Roberts, Iain Dale, Matthew Parris, and Anthony Seldon.
