Margaret Thatcher Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

First published in her pioneering treatise Statecraft, the opinions and projections of the former Prime Minister on Europe remain potent and resoundingly prophetic. Margaret Thatcher foresaw the European Union as a swelling superstate, gradually eroding Britain's freedom. Irreparable and doomed, European integration did not allow for the birthright of nationhood. It was the most recent incarnation of an idea that has been tried many times before, and the outcomes were far from happy. During my lifetime, she says, most of the problems the world has faced have come, in one fashion or other, from mainland Europe, and the solutions from outside it.

Margaret Thatcher, arguable the most significant figure of the late-twentieth-century British politics, died on 8 April 2013. Combining and abridging her memoirs 'The Path to Power' and 'The Downing Street Years', this definitive account of Margaret Thatcher's life is published as a one volume commemorative edition.

Britain's first female Prime Minister - and the only British Prime Minister of the 20th century to win three consecutive general elections - shares her story as only she can in this engaging memoir.

The ninth biggest country in the world, Kazakhstan stretches from Europe to China, supplying from vast resources its petroleum and gas by pipeline to Western and world markets via the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and simultaneously by direct pipeline to China. Economically, politically and socially Kazakhstan is increasingly seen as an exemplar of prosperity, sound management, national - albeit ethnically diverse - cohesion, and international sagacity befitting its pivotal geo-political position.Born into a family of transhumant herders of eastern Kazakhstan in July 1940, Nursultan Nazarbayev is now the President of Kazakhstan.

Bývalá britská premiérka se ve své knize Umění vládnout (Statecraft, 2002) věnuje geopolitice a mezinárodní strategii a má ambici podat praktický návod k patřičné zahraniční politice pro nejbližší budoucnost. Její práce začíná reflexí konce studené války a připomínkou jejích nejvýraznějších osobností, především Ronalda Reagana. Na geopolitické šachovnici se pak Thatcherová rozmáchne se vskutku širokým záběrem: pojednává o velmocích (Americe a Rusku), o asijských mocnostech (především Číně a Indii) a posléze se věnuje aktuálním otázkám terorismu, gangsterských režimů, lidských práv a jejich zneužívání. V Evropě se nejprve vrací k balkánskému konfliktu, ale především se vyjadřuje k otázce evropské integrace, v níž kontroverzně navrhuje postupné vystoupení Spojeného království z Evropské unie. V závěrečné kapitole se věnuje demokratickému kapitalismu a jeho morálním předpokladům.

"The appearance of Margaret Thatcher's memoirs has been one of the most eagerly awaited publishing events in many years. As this book now shows, rarely has such a sense of anticipation been so amply justified." "The Downing Street Years is, first and foremost, a brilliant first-hand portrayal of the events and personalities of her years in power. She gives riveting accounts of the great and critical moments of her premiership - the three election victories, the Falklands War, the Miners' Strike, the Brighton Bomb, the Westland Affair, her battles abroad with foreign federalists and at home with faint-hearted or misguided ministers. Her judgements of the men and women she has encountered, whether world statesmen or Cabinet colleagues, are completely, sometimes brutally, frank. She is lavish with praise where it is due; devastating in her criticism when it is not. The book ends with an account of her last days which is as gripping as anything in thriller fiction." "But The Downing Street Years is as much an argument as it is a record or a series of character portraits. No prime minister of modern times has sought to change Britain and its place in the world as radically as she did. Her government, she says, was about the application of a philosophy, not the implementation of an administrative programme. She sets out here with forcefulness and conviction the reasons for her beliefs and how she sought to turn them into action."
