This book provides an assessment of Thatcher's foreign policy
throughout her years in office, 1979-90. Successive chapters cover
her partnership with Carrington, the Falklands War, Thatcher's
American policy, her fights with the EC over money and
institutional development, her relationship with Gorbachev, and the
failure of her German policy. The main argument is that Thatcher's
attempt to reconcile economic liberalism with political nationalism
in a more assertive foreign policy prefigured the emerging
statecraft of post-Cold War great power politics.
