Leaders in War: Margaret Thatcher

Margaret Thatcher was the first female prime minister of Great Britain, but with the start of the Falklands War in April 1982 she was also the first British prime minister to take her country to war since England went to Korea in the 1950s. The leadership she showed during that painful but ultimately successful engagement had a huge impact upon the rest of her career. Andrew Roberts, who knew Lady Thatcher well, explores the secrets of her leadership style.

Andrew Roberts is the award-winning author and editor of twelve books, including Napoleon: A Life and Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West, 1941-1945.
