'The most thorough, the most enjoyable and the most original book yet written about New Labour' David Hare, Guardian
Andrew Rawnsley's bestselling book lifts the lid on the second half of New Labour's spell in office, with riveting inside accounts of all the key events from 9/11 and the Iraq War to the financial crisis and the parliamentary expenses scandal; and entertaining portraits of the main players as Rawnsley takes us through the triumphs and tribulations of New Labour as well as the astonishing feuds and reconciliations between Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and Peter Mandelson.
This paperback edition contains two revealing new chapters on the extraordinary events surrounding the 2010 General Election and its aftermath.
