Description

Gordon Brown's leadership during a critical period in global economic history is reassessed in this new book. William Keegan draws on accounts from those who worked with him and those he fought with to provide a balanced view of Brown as chancellor and prime minister.

Keegan argues that the extent to which Brown was solely responsible for policy errors is overstated, and that his approach had its purpose in preserving public services. However, it also became clear that some areas, such as social housing, fell short of expectations.

This book offers a fresh perspective on Gordon Brown's time in office, one that seeks to correct the narrative around his leadership and legacy.
