Product Description

Product Description
Taking the events of Blair's last hundred days as his launching pad for captivating snapshots of key moments in his premiership, Adam Boulton follows Tony Blair intimately through his final day in office. The veteran political journalist witnesses the so-called 'Blairwell Tour' as the caravan travels from Westminster to Washington, Iraq, South Africa, the EU, the G8, Northern Ireland, the Sedgefield constituency, Chequers to the final farewell and beyond. Boulton traces from these celebrations back to the key incidents, achievements and mistakes of the Prime Minister's ten years in power. And he draws on his first hand experience of them to measure Tony Blair against his immediate predecessors, Margaret Thatcher and John Major, and the rival who succeeded him, Gordon Brown. Boulton has followed the Blair story intimately from 1983 to the present. He provides fresh and fascinating insights into the Blair-Brown conflict, the decision making that led to Britain joining the US invasion of Iraq, the pressures on the Blair family, and the often fraught and febrile relationship between Number 10 and the media.M EMORIES OF THE BLAIR ADMINISTRATION is authoritative, highly readable and revealing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great read by Adam Boulton, 2 Dec 2008
By Carla D (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews
This book is much better than political diaries, which merely document the diarists thoughts. Boulton gives a well thought-out commentary alongside some fabulous gossipy titbits on Tony Blair and the characters who surrounded him. The fact that the author was an impartial observer makes it a more believable and honest account.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great political gossip, 1 Dec 2008
By Ruthie (Glasgow, UK) - See all my reviews
Adam Boulton's book is the best sort of political gossip - accurate but entertaining. I thought it was the most open and revealing commentary on UK politics since Alan Clark's diaries. It's a must for anyone wanting an unbiased insight into Blair's premiership. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nothing really new in this - but worth a read., 4 Oct 2008
By W. O'Dell "Wayne" (Clapham, London,) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was looking forward to Adam Boultons book, as it has been plugged so widely on Sky News ! Pre ordered it and yes i did enjoy it. It is well written, insightful, and does what it says on the packet - BUT - Where it falls down is when you compare it with others, for example Campbells book, which is, in my humble view, in a different league. Theres nothing new in it, nothing that hasnt already been said before. Nevertheless, worth a read now the nights are drawing in. My overall rating - it's OK!

I admire Adam Boulton's television reporting. He is always professional, even-handed and never seems to fall victim to self-regard. Read more
