THE BLAIR YEARS is the most compelling and revealing account of contemporary politics you will ever read. Taken from Alastair Campbell”¦s daily diaries, it charts the rise if New Labor and the tumultuous years of Tony Blair”¦s leadership, providing the first important record of a remarkable decade in our national life. This is a story of politics in the raw, of progress and setback, of reputation made and destroyed, under the relentless scrutiny of a 24-hour media. Unflinchingly told, it covers the crises and scandals, the rows and resignations, the ups and downs of Britain”¦s hothouse politics. But amid the big events are insights and observations that make this a remarkably human portrayal of some of the most powerful people in the world. There has never been so riveting a book about life at the very top, nor a more human book about politics, told by a man who saw it all.
