Description
The Blair Years Extracts from the Alastair Campbell Diaries A candid and revealing account of contemporary politics, The Blair Years is a unique insight into the tumultuous years of Tony Blair's leadership. Taken from Alastair Campbell's daily diaries, this book charts the defining events of the decade, from Labour's new dawn to the war on terror, and from the death of Diana to negotiations for peace in Northern Ireland. As Blair's press secretary, strategist, and trusted confidant, Alastair Campbell was pivotal to the founding of New Labour and the sensational election victory of 1997. His diaries, at times brutally frank, often funny, and always compelling, take the reader right to the heart of government. This is a story of politics in the raw, of progress and setback, of reputations made and destroyed, under the relentless scrutiny of a 24-hour media. Unflinchingly told, The Blair Years offers a remarkably human portrayal of some of the most powerful people in the world, providing a unique perspective on the crises, scandals, and ups and downs of Britain's hothouse politics.
