'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 of New Labour and the tumultuous years of Tony Blair's leadership,providing the first important record of a remarkable decade in our national life.Here are the defining events of our time,from Labour's new dawn to the war on terror,from the death of Diana to negotiations for peace in Northern Ireland,from Kosovo,Afghanistan and Iraq,through to the Hutton Inquiry of 2003,the year Campbell resigned his position at Number 10.But above all,here is Tony Blair up close and personal,taking the decisions that affected the lives of millions,under relentless and frequently hostile pressure.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,it covers the crises and the 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.
