SYNOPSIS: Passionate, doctrinaire and untouched by doubt, Margaret Thatcher, the Iron Lady of international affairs, was the dominant voice of the 1980s. Credited with rolling back the frontiers of the 'nanny' state, nobody was more fierce in her rhetoric about high standards in public life and the honest rewards of self-sufficiency--except when it came to her only son, Mark. The Boy Thatcher, as he became known in the Press, after brief and unsuccessful careers as a trainee accountant, jewellery salesman and racing driver, set about exploiting his famous name with rapacity. And despite the embarrassment and potential damage to Her Majesty's government, Margaret Thatcher was occasionally ready to bend her famous standards to help enrich her son. As the meticulous research of Thatcher's Gold makes clear, this went far beyond the indulgence of a devoted mother. Mark Thatcher's business dealings have been large-scale, lucrative, sustained throughout his mother's years in 10 Downing Street and very private indeed. With its close look behind the scenes, Thatcher's Gold follows his questionable and secretive career--from the mediocrity of his schooldays to his notorious present. This book, packed with revelations about Mark and Margaret Thatchers' financial and commercial affairs, also provides a dramatic insight into the twilight worlds of international arms-dealing, off-shore banking and oil trading. It is an extraordinary story which scrapes away the illusions many Britons still cherish about the exercise of influence and hidden agendas in the heart of government.
