Statecraft, by Margaret Thatcher

Statecraft: Strategies for a Changing World, by Margaret Thatcher. National leaders are always writing books attempting to give their insights into world affairs and end up producing a run-of-the-mill, self-glorifying tome. Ms. Thatcher, the Iron Lady of Great Britain, has published a work that actually teaches us something useful. Thatcher writes succinctly on issues from culture to economics to the military. Her views, as always, are prescient, thoughtful and reducible to practical maxims, applicable to all the common geo-political situations of our time or any time. This book will be thumbed through down the ages by political practitioners, the way Caesar's Commentaries have been studied by the greats of military science. This book is a must for the well-appointed political science library.
