In a nutshell: In this first look back on the 10 years Tony Blair served as prime minister of Great Britain, his former press secretary publishes a portion of his diaries. An experienced journalist, Campbell put a well-considered, well-written entry into his diary every night, offering clear and clever insight into Blair, his decision-making process and his interaction with world leaders. This is a keeper of inestimable value to historians.
