Publisher's Synopsis
This biography of Tony Blair is a portrait of the man who has the classic background of a Tory politician - public school, Oxford and the bar - and is very different from previous Labour leaders. It gives the inside story of the power struggle that broke out in the party immediately after John Smith's death and the political relationship between Gordon Brown and Tony Blair. It goes on to look at Blair's plans for the "Clintonization" of the Labour Party. The book also considers Blair's Christianity and his firm views on law and order. The role of Peter Mandelson in preparing Tony Blair for the leadership and Mandelson's future role are also considered.
