Thatcherism by Peter Dorey

A lively analysis of how Thatcherism became an ideology for politics to conjure with, its relationship with its eponymous leader and with the Conservative Party, as well as the long-term implications for the British people.

Dorey’s superbly researched account is a concise, full 360-degree study of the inexorable rise of Thatcherism and its erosion of traditional ConservatismHe shows clearly and crisply why her ideological legacy remains so important to the Conservative Party and to anyone who studies it.

-- Louise Thompson, University of Manchester

An outstanding book that deserves to be widely read. Pete Dorey has expertly combined historical and political analysis to provide a definitive and highly engaging account of the complexities and contradictions of the Thatcher project. His analysis is consistently sharp and insightful and helps us make better sense of the character and legacy of one of the most important and enduring political projects of our time.

-- Peter Kerr, University of Birmingham
