[Hans · Rating 3 out of 5]

Perceptive insights across all aspects of Tony Blair’s decade as PM, from an outsider who was an insider too. This makes the book unusual. (Stylistically, writing it based on the closing months of the decade, with constant flash backs, makes the book harder work for the reader than necessary). All in all, still fascinating.

A well written book.

[Lee · Rating 3 out of 5]

An interesting overview of the Blair era at points, but if honest a very average read

[The Master · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very friendly overview of the Blair era. The author is married to one of Blair's closest advisors, which made me wonder how much "spin" worked its way into the book. To be fair, the author is very upfront about his marital connection.

A well written book about the politics and creation of the New Labour years. A brilliant in site but the author doesn't order the book chronologically or thematically so sometimes it can be confusing.
