Now his memoirs reveal in intimate detail this unique political and personal journey, providing an insight into the man, the politician and the statesman, and charting successes, controversies and disappointments with an extraordinary candour. A Journey will prove essential and compulsive reading for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of our global world.

Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"Written in a congenial style peppered with slang and gossipy asides. At one moment he is the bloke in the pub. The next, he is Churchill" -- Ben MacIntyre The Times "This is a more honest political memoir than most and more open in many respects than I had anticipated. He is compellingly candid about how scared he was when he first became prime minister ... He is unusually direct about his calculations, even when they don't reflect well on him ... He admits to stretching the truth beyond 'breaking point' to secure a settlement in Northern Ireland. Even when the lies are told in a noble cause, few politicians are honest enough to admit that they sometimes feel compelled to be deceivers" -- Andrew Rawnsley The Observer "He is by turns outspoken, provocative, unrepentant, often serious, sometimes funny" -- David Frost Al Jazeera "Tony Blair's memoir is part psychodrama, part treatise on the frustrations of leadership in a modern democracy ... The book's broader purpose is to preserve his legacy, settling scores, justifying the war against Iraq, and mounting a defiant plea to his party to keep faith with New Labour ... Blair comes across as likable, if manipulative; capable of dissembling while wonderfully fluent; in short, a brilliant modern politician" -- Lionel Barber Financial Times "Will certainly become a bestseller" -- Robert McCrum The Observermehr
