    THE PATH TO POWER

    Book ID/图书代码: 06040004B05727

    English Summary/英文概要: Margaret Thatcher’s government was, she says, about the application of a philosophy, not the implementation of an administrative programme. These ideas and beliefs were propelled throughout her time in office by a forcefulness and conviction, particularly in critical moments in her premiership - the Falklands War, the miner’s strike, the Brighton bomb and her three election victories. In the second volume of her memoirs, following "The Downing Street Years", she reveals the inspiration behind many of her philosophies. She discusses the formative years of her childhood in Grantham, the values she learnt at home, the profound influence of her shopkeeeping father, and of her own schooling on future Conservative education policies. She recounts her days at Oxford, her academic work as a scientist, marriage to Dennis, and the beginning of her career as a politician when in 1959 she was selected to stand at Finchley. She gives her views on the governments of Harold Macmillan, Alec Douglas-Home, Harold Wilson, Edward Heath and Jim Callaghan, and sets out the development of her ideas during her time in opposition.

    Chinese Summary/中文概要: 玛格丽特·撒切尔,1925年10月13日诞生于英格兰格兰瑟姆镇一个经营杂货的小商人家庭,1979年当选为英国历史上首任女首相。关于这段由平民到首相的经历,已出版过数种传记,但本书则是撒切尔夫人本人对这一段生活经历的自述和回顾,可谓原汁原味。同时,本书也是《唐宁街岁月》一书的姊妹篇。本书共分两部分。第一部分讲述任首相前的个人经历;第二部分从哲学和思想理论方面阐述了她对国际关系、世界经济和道德观念的观点,论述的范围也随之从英国扩展到广阔的国际舞台。作者在书中不仅回忆了个人人生和家庭的变迁,而且结合英国和国际上的风云变幻,向读者敞开心扉,畅谈了自己对人生、家庭、社会、国家和国际问题的看法,并且介绍了保守党内部以及工党内部各派的观点。因此,这部自传对了解和研究英国这一段历史具有重要参考价值。
    玛格丽特·撒切尔作为“铁娘子”早已闻名于世。此书不仅展示了她自强、自立的心路历程,而且披露了她作为家庭主妇的精细和作为女性的温柔乃至柔弱的一面。撒切尔夫人在政治上属于英国保守党的右翼。从这一立场出发,她对各种问题自然有自己的看法,并且直言不讳。书中所表述的仅代表她本人的观点。她把英国工党的意识形态和政见称为“社会主义”、“集体主义”、“总体主义”。这与我 国读者对这些词义的理解不尽相同。大英帝国于19世纪与20世纪之交开始走向衰落,在第二次世界大战中遭到 严重削弱, 其国力落在了后起的资本主义国家之后, 到撒切尔夫人步入政坛时,“英国病”这一沉疴正在日益严重地缠绕英国。她抱着振兴英国的决心走进了唐宁街10号。她为英国开出了以提倡自由竞争、减少政府干预、控制货币发行量和回归家庭美德为特征的“撒切尔主义”处方。撒切尔夫人任英国首相长达11年之久,不仅在英国而且在世界政治舞台上都发挥了一定的影响,相信本书的出版对了解“撒切尔主义”的形成和发展过程会有很大的帮助.

    Awards/获奖情况:Previously, the retired British prime minister wrote--and wrote pugnaciously--about her long tenure in the premiership in The Downing Street Years (1993). Now Thatcher fills in, chronologically speaking, by writing about her life prior to becoming prime minister and after she left office and does so, perhaps, even more self-righteously. Born "over the shop" (her father’s grocery, that is) in 1925 in Grantham, England, Thatcher was raised in a household "practical, serious and intensely religious." Those qualities became her qualities, and by the time she got to Oxford, she recognized politics as her calling. She threw her hat into the ring early, running for Parliament when only in her twenties. By nature conservative, she was by enlistment a Conservative. The path by which she became head of that party and then prime minister is traced in typical Thatcher fashion: her narrative is opinionated, self-assured, and, as the reader has to admit, well reasoned. Expect the same heavy demand by serious readers of politics and history as the first volume garnered.---Brad Hooper, From Booklist

    Following The Downing Street Years (LJ 1/94), Thatcher reflects on her youth.---From Library Journal

    About the Author/作者介绍: Margaret Thatcher’s political career has been one of the most remarkable of modern times. Born in October 1925 at Grantham, a small market town in eastern England, she rose to become the first (and for two decades the only) woman to lead a major Western democracy. She won three successive General Elections and served as British Prime Minister for more than eleven years (1979-90), a record unmatched in the twentieth century.
