Product Description

Matthew Parris

This is psychobiography without the psychobabble. I found it absorbing, clear, lively and persuasive. I think David Owen is right.


Dr Raj Persaud

A unique and penetrating insight. Anyone who intends to vote at any election should read this book first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Suddenly, everything about Blair's premiership becomes clear., 20 Aug 2007
I cannot imagine a more convincing indictment of Blair post 9/11.

3.0 out of 5 stars A frightening little book, 23 Feb 2009
By Mac McAleer (London UK) - See all my reviews
This is an interesting, and frightening, book by someone with intimate experience of both politics and medicine chronicling a selection of beloved leaders portrayed as physically or mentally suspect.
