À propos de cet audio
Few people remember Peter Walker today. But for more than a decade he was one of the most important figures in Margaret Thatcher's government - in spite of the fact he styled himself as an Macmillanite and not a Thatcherite. In this episode we discuss Walker's career, the role he played in 1980s Britain, and whether or not he was able to exercise much influence as a Cabinet minister.
In this episode, we discuss the following books:
'Taken as Red' by Anushka Asthana. Available here: https://amzn.to/4fI2k8T
'Strange Days Indeed' by Francis Wheen. Available here: https://amzn.to/4fBtJJz
We also mention audiobooks. If you’re interested in trying them out, you can get a free trial with Audible by clicking here.
