Tom Bower

With unprecedented access to more than 200 Whitehall officials, military officers and politicians, Tom Bower has uncovered the full story of Blair’s decade in power and beyond. From his landslide victory in May 1997 at the age of forty-three, through his successive terms as Labour’s longest-serving Prime Minister, to his subsequent activities in Asia, the Middle East and America.

The result is the political thriller of the year – a dramatic re-evaluation of Tony Blair which disentangles the mystery of an extraordinary politician – and illuminates the ultimate tragedy of power.
