Hardback. xi, 291pp. She was the second most famous politician in the country, putting Cabinet Ministers in the shade. She was the high-flyer who crashed in a welter of eggshells. This is a hugely readable insider's account of what happened to the health of British people between 1986 and 1988, and what was done about it. This thoughtful and revealing book about health and politics offers fascinating insights into the workings of the Whitehall machine and what it was like to be a minister in the Thatcher government.
