Description

The Alastair Campbell Diaries: Volume Three Power and Responsibility 1999-2001 This third volume of Alastair Campbell's daily account of life at the centre of government marks a turning point in New Labour's history. The period begins with conflict in Kosovo and ends on September 11, 2001, a day that would change the course of politics forever. Campbell provides graphic accounts of domestic crises, including foot-and-mouth disease and protests over fuel prices, as well as high-profile resignations and controversies such as Peter Mandelson's second departure. Despite these challenges, Labour won a second successive landslide election victory, which is recorded in detail alongside significant policy achievements like devolution to Northern Ireland. The diary entries offer a unique insight into the inner workings of the Blair government during this period, revealing both the triumphs and the turmoil that defined New Labour's time in office.
