About this ebook

The Falklands War is the period of Margaret Thatcher's premiership which still attracts the greatest attention. Mrs. Thatcher's War is a new history of the conflict, not from the military perspective but centrally from hers. The book presents the fullest account to date of the diplomacy before the conflict, the British strategy with Argentina and relationship with American politicians. Chris Collins, the archivist of the Thatcher Foundation with an unsurpassed knowledge of Thatcher's papers, draws on many previously unpublished sources and interviews, including his own conversations with Thatcher in 1992, to create a compelling history of crisis and leadership.

About the author

Chris Collins helped Margaret Thatcher write her memoirs, and is now the head of the Thatcher Foundation and the editor of the Margaret Thatcher Foundation website, which revolutionises the study of contemporary history. He was a student then lecturer at Oxford.
