You also really like Charles Moore's book, a biography of Margaret Thatcher. It's called Margaret Thatcher: At Her Zenith: In London, Washington and Moscow, volume 2 of the biography. COWEN: One of the best biographies of the last 10 years. For many people, it's too detailed, to be clear, but just quality of book, it's unbelievable.

Margaret Thatcher: Herself Alone by Charles Moore is the final volume of the definitive, deeply researched biographical trilogy examining the life, political rise, and polarizing premiership of Britain's first female prime minister. On an episode of Conversations with Tyler titled Conversations with Tyler 2025 Retrospective, released on December 23, 2025, Tyler Cowen discussed the biography. During the conversation, the interviewer noted Cowen's strong admiration for the work, specifically identifying it as Margaret Thatcher: At Her Zenith: In London, Washington and Moscow, the second volume of the monumental biography. Cowen concurred with the high praise, characterizing it directly as one of the best biographies of the last ten years. While acknowledging its immense scope, Cowen conceded that for many people, the book is admittedly too detailed, to be clear, but he nevertheless stood by its exceptional quality and comprehensive historical value. The discussion highlighted the rigorous research and narrative depth that Moore brought to documenting the complex geopolitical maneuvers, ideological battles, and domestic policies that defined the Thatcher era on the global stage.
