Welcome to Thatcherland: Britain in 1980

By Chris Staverson

1980. Britain.
The eighties has often been described as one of the most important decades in Britain's recent history.
Those ten years marked a period of significant change in a country which the previous decade had left bruised and battered.
Jim Callaghan's Labour government left a terrible mark on the country, after industrial strife and a failing economy brought it to its knees.
When Margaret Thatcher was elected prime minister in May 1979, her sole priority was to drag the country out of the gutter.
Easier said than done. But Thatcher was ready for the challenge.
In this new book by Chris Staverson, those battles which Thatcher would fight in the very first year of the new decade are brought to life.
Drawing on historical facts and the author's own personal memories, Welcome to Thatcherland is a tale of determination and struggles in a time of radical change.
