I wanted to write one more book -- and I wanted it to be about the future.

Few leaders have stood on the brink of change to the extent of former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Now this commanding world figure draws upon her unrivaled political experience to comment on the threats that democracy faces at the dawn of the new millennium and on the role that Western powers should play in the world's hot spots, especially in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.

Reflecting on the lessons of the Cold War, Thatcher outlines the foundation of U.S. dominance and its responsibilities as the only global superpower. She offers prescient observations about the dangers posed by Balkan instability, rogue states, Islamic extremism, and international terrorism -- and suggests strategies to counter them. In addition, she examines current trends in Russia, China, India, the Far East, Europe, and, particularly, Great Britain. Noting how every contemporary problem evokes demands for a global solution, Thatcher also warns of overreliance on international institutions at the expense of nation-states.

Statecraft is an incisive treatise on power in the age of globalism, written by a legendary world statesman with a matchless combination of principles, experience, and shrewdness.

A Geopolitical Tour de Force

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

Statecraft is a prescient discussion of the geopolitical challenges and opportunities facing the world. Fascinating in its political discussion! Thatcher is an extremely engaging writer - her style is crystal clear and confident (there's no equivocation) - and she calls on the vast experience she accumulated from over a decade as the head of government of a great power. Given contemporary debates and politics, Statecraft provides a unique angle on globalization. This is also a useful autobiographical account shedding some light on Thatcher's busy public life and adventures after she left office.

The World Through Learned Eyes

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 9, 2002

Verified Purchase

With Statecraft Margaret Thatcher takes us for a walk through the last quarter of the 20th century and provides us with her interpretations of the challenges we face at the dawn of the 21st. To be clear she provides ample evidence in defense of the policies she and Ronald Reagan laid down in the 1980's and a perspective that only can come from one who was intimately involved. But more importantly she provides a lucent examination the framework upon which international relations are conducted in the world today. This is not one of those lightweight looks at globalization found in the business section but rather a remarkably broad, deep and insightful look at the forces that have shaped international relations today. A must for anyone truly interested in international relations regardless of your politics.

I bought the book for its signature. I like the book but would have been better prepared for the autograph had there been a more detailed description. Margaret Thatcher had personalized the book for someone else which greatly effects the value for an investment

I bought this book used but the book was just as good as if it hadn't ever been read. This book was recommended by a friend and he was right on as Margaret Thatcher was an amazing woman.

not her best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 11, 2005

Verified Purchase

Big fan of Thatcher but this is such a waste of space it must surely not have been entirely her work. You may be be shocked/peeved to find that this reads more like some kind of bland all-in-one=together Euro socio-economic 101 course than a book by a great leader and statesman on being one (as its title suggests). Even on the econ Thatcher's Neo-Classical soul must have been mugged by some warped Euro-Marxist ghostwriter as she parrots on here how Russia is "different" and Japan "special", structural rigidities and blah blah blah. Try Thatcher's many memoirs (Downing Street Years)if you want the real Iron Lady.

Very good book, written in her style. I purchased a second hand copy in very good condition. I opened the front page to see it had been signed by the lady herself. Now one of my prized possessions.

I thought the book condition wasn't exactly as described. It is in fair condition and will not deter from my perceived anticipation of reading Dame Thatcher's book. I purchased the book because she showed great Statesmanship in her experiences with dealing with the EU.
