Publisher's Synopsis
Anthony Seldon's innovative and revealing profile of the Prime Minister rewrote the bibliography of Blair studies on its first publication in 2004. Now, in this extensively revised and updated edition, published to coincide with Blair's departure from Number 10, Seldon delivers the final verdict on one of the most successful yet divisive Prime Ministers of the modern era. Focusing on the interplay between the key episodes of Blair's life and career and the key personalities with whom he surrounded himself, it assesses the Blair psychology in all its forms and explains the motivation of the man destined to be the last British Prime Minister to command a world stage. It also draws on previously unpublished diaries and documents and is based on 600 original interviews. Gripping and revelatory, it is the definitive account of the man who shaped modern Britain.
