Blair Unbound

Fülszöveg

'Anthony Seldon's monumental Blair biography . . . fill[s] the gaps decorously omitted from Alastair Campbell's diaries and must render any further account superfluous'
SIMON JENKINS, SUNDAY TIMES
'This is an important and good book because Seldon's central thesis is right'
PHIL COLLINS, DAILY TELEGRAPH
Anthony Seldon's first study of Tony Blair, published in 2004, which took his story from birth up to the second term, has now become the conventional wisdom about Blair. Blair Unbound, written with Peter Snowdon and Daniel Collings, takes the story from 2001 until his final day in power on 27 June 2007. It recounts how Blair matures as a political leader, finds his voice and personal agenda at home and abroad, and divests himself of the figures who had helped him rise to power but then held him back. Critical in this transformation is 9/11, which put iron in his soul, and fired him with the vision of becoming a world leader.

Blair Unbound is the best-sourced book to be
written on a recently departed British Prime Minister. It is based on 2 million transcribed words of interviews with figures at the heart of the courts of Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and George W. Bush, and on a wide array of unpublished documents. In its detail, depth and judgements, so soon after its subject's departure from office, Blair Unbound is unique in the annals of contemporary history and political biography.
