Description

In 1997, Tony Blair won the biggest Labour victory in history to sweep the party to power and end eighteen years of Conservative government. He remains the only living Labour leader to have won a general election.
He has been one of the most dynamic leaders of modern times; few British prime ministers have shaped the nation's course as profoundly as Blair during his ten years in power, and his achievements and his legacy will be debated for years to come.
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. As an account of the nature and uses of power, it will also have a readership that extends well beyond politics, to all those who want to understand the challenges of leadership today.

Leadership at its best

Want to learn about the world of politics and be inspired about how to lead a country a company or yourself, then look no further.
Through the honesty of Tonys writing (I feel like I know him on a first name basis) I laughed and I learnt so much from his experiences.
I sat there and thought what would I do in this situation (foot and mouth disease, fuel crisis, death of Diana to Iraq). Tonys prime ministership - full of real life crisis - not a text book, but a book of case studies on leadership.
As a avid reader of autobiographies this one is a real gem. Some may say that Tony tries to justify his actions - it's his life and his book so who wouldn't.
There is so much take home value. A must read for anyone who is in business or impacted by politics (that would be all of us).

Thought provoking at least, inspiring at best!

A Journey is a very interesting book. I am not an avid reader of political memoirs or in fact an avid reader of books over 300 pages. BUT, this was trully interesting. Hearing his reflections on the people he met and interacted with and most of all worked with to me was fascinating. This book did not dry up by the end, the juices kept on flowing throughout. It gives a unique insight into the thought and ethos that went into developing New Labour and of course it gives the ususal and some more unusual comments about the Iraq War and President Bush! I did enjoy this, it was a bit of a Marathon, but Tony is such an iconic and world changing figure in my view that it is a must read to understand the late 20th and early 21st Century in all its glory!
