Book excerpt: When Mark Thatcher was charged with financing an illegal coup by mercenaries to overthrow the oil-rich regime in Equatorial Guinea, people were stunned but also intrigued. The news made headlines across the globe and once again the son of Lady Thatcher was thrust into the spotlight of controversy, skullduggery and dubious business ventures. In January 2005, he pleaded guilty to breaking antimercenary laws by unwittingly financing a helicopter that was to be used by the rebels. That, he hoped, would draw a line under the affair. But the bigger question on everyone's minds during the saga has been: just how has the son of the former Prime Minister made his fortune? For the first time, Thatcher and Son provides the answers. It reveals that Margaret Thatcher was far more involved in helping her son enrich himself - and indirectly their family - while she was Prime Minister than was realised. For most of the Thatcher decade, Mark lived in the USA, married to 'an ordinary Texan millionairess. From that base, he exploited his famous name for commercial gain. He was a middleman on a multi-billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, private security contracts in America and oil ventures in Africa. although he continued to consort with arms dealers. Now his connections with mercenaries who were attempting to topple the president of Equatorial Guinea have propelled him back on to the front pages. Packed with new revelations about Mark and Lady Thatcher's financial and commercial affairs, this book also provides an insight into the twilight worlds of international arms-dealing and oil trading. But at its heart, Thatcher and Son is an insider's account of one of the world's most famous political dynasties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's first female prime minister remains a political figure of almost mythical proportions. Margaret Thatcher divided a political nation, became a cultural icon, and was the longest-serving prime minister of the twentieth century. Her period in government coincided with extraordinary changes in British society and in Britain's place in the world. Thatcher's Britaintells the story of Thatcherism for a generation with no personal memories of the 80s, as well as for those who want to revisit the polemics of their youth. It seeks to rescue Thatcher from being seen as John the Baptist for Tony Blair, stresses that Thatcherism was not a timeless phenomenon, but rooted in the 70s and 80s, and focuses our attention away from her legend, to what her government actually did during this tumultuous period in British history.

Book excerpt: "When Mark Thatcher was arrested for helping to fund a plot to overthrow President Teodoro Obiang of the oil-rich African state of Equatorial Guinea, the spotlight was suddenly back on the controversial multimillionaire son of the former prime minister and his dubious business ventures. And the scandal revived an even more enticing mystery- just how has Mark Thatcher accumulated his large pot of gold? hatcher s Fortunes reveals that while she was prime minister, Lady Thatcher was active in lobbying for contracts in which her son had a commercial interest. Despite the potential damage to her government, she allowed him to use her office to enrich himself through arms deals in the Middle East, construction contracts in the Gulf and oil ventures in Africa. fter his mother was ousted from Downing Street, and while personally dogged by lawsuits and tax investigations, Mark Thatcher moved to South Africa. It was here that his association with gun-runners and mercenaries led to his involvement in the dramatic attempt to topple the president of Equatorial Guinea. acked with new revelations about Mark and Lady Thatcher s commercial and financial affairs, Thatcher s Fortunes is an inside
