Inhaltsangabe
Margaret Thatcher remains one of the United Kingdom’s most polarising prime ministers. This provocative investigation sheds new light on the secret, internal ‘cold war’ that the Iron Lady and her government waged against ‘the enemy within’: anti-nuclear, new age and ecology campaigners; poll tax protesters; trade unionists at GCHQ and striking miners; feminists and homosexuals; Scottish nationalists; Ken Livingstone and the GLC; Derek Hatton and the city councillors of Liverpool; protesters and rioters in Brixton, Toxteth and Broadwater Farm; the far right; the EU; and the IRA – among others. It was a campaign fuelled by paranoia on both the left and right of the political spectrum and fought with corruption, black propaganda, dirty tricks and even murder. Expertly juxtaposing notable events with today’s political arena, author Clive Bloom surmises that the United Kingdom is rapidly changing and that although Thatcher’s ideals seem to have vanished, one remains: the power and importance of the extra-parliamentary state and its surveillance methods and hidden powers in a new age of terrorism. Thatcher’s Secret War provides a timely, critical and compelling study of a deeply complex and controversial premiership. Accessible, fascinating and compulsive, this is a book that may well ruffle feathers and rattle cages. Longlisted for the 'Bread and Roses Award for Radical Publishing' in 2016.

Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. The first book to explore the secret campaign that Mrs Thatcher and her government waged before and after the Falklands War against 'subversives' This book, which begins with what many believe to be a political killing, is an alternative history of Margaret Thatcher's premiership. It looks at the secret campaign that Mrs Thatcher and her government waged before and after the Falklands War against 'subversives': anti-nuclear, new age and ecology campaigners; poll tax protesters; trade unionists at GCHQ and Wapping; Greenham Common women; Scottish nationalists; Ken Livingstone and the GLC; Derek Hatton and the city councillors of Liverpool; protesters and rioters in Brixton, Toxteth and Broadwater Farm; the far right; the Europe Union; and the Irish Republican Army. The central argument of the book is that there was not only a secret, internal 'cold war' fought throughout the 1980s (a war that had started in the 1970s), but that the consequences of those years have huge implications for the importance and role of the state as it evolved beyond into the twenty-first century outside parliamentary control. It is in these years that the state becomes a direct arm of government policy, but undeclared and unexamined in parliament, which led to it actually metamorphosing into the real and uncontrolled hidden political power in Britain; a power no longer decided by parliamentary process. AUTHOR: Described by The Times as 'a polymath', Clive Bloom is Emeritus Professor of English and American Studies at Middlesex University. In 2011, he was the historical consultant to the BBC and a number of national and international newspapers on the G20 and the summer riots in Britain. He is an occasional feature writer for the Financial Times, The Times, the Guardian, the Independent, the Irish Times and the London Evening Standard, regularly appearing on television and radio, and he is quoted in the Columbia Book of World Quotations. Expertly juxtaposing notable events with todays political arena, author Clive Bloom surmises that the United Kingdom is rapidly changing and that although Thatchers ideals seem to have vanished, one remains: the power and importance of the extra-parliamentary state and its surveillance methods and hidden powers in a new age of terrorism.
