Margaret Thatcher, the longest-serving British prime minister in the twentieth century and surely one of the most consequential in history, died Monday from a stroke at the age of 87.
Thatcher is best known for a badly needed economic revitalization of the British economy throughout the 1980s and for her steadfast partnership with President Ronald Reagan in the battle to defeat the Soviet empire and foster the spread of freedom around the globe.
Frank Gaffney served as an assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan years. He is now president of the Center for Security Policy.
In this interview, Gaffney discusses Reagan and Thatcher as political soul mates, the importance of Thatcher in bringing down the Iron Curtain, and how history, if honest, will remember her.
