The revelatory memoir of one of New Labor’s three founding
architects is devoted to the "soap opera" years of Labor
government and the breakdown of relationships between
Mandelson, Tony Blair, and Gordon Brown
Drawing heavily on detailed diary notes he took during the
events that shaped the British government for more than 25
years, Peter Mandelson tells his story of a life played out
in the backrooms and on the frontlines of the Labor Party
during its unprecedented three terms in government in this
mixture of autobiography, personal reflection, and political
history. He began writing the book while serving as European
Commissioner and completed it since leaving office in May
2010. His revelations include that the relationship between
Tony Blair and Gordon Brown became so hostile that Blair
described his chancellor as "mad, bad, dangerous, and beyond
redemption" and likened Brown's behavior to that of a
"mafioso" in his dealings with him. Much has been written
about Mandelson as the person at the heart of the New Labor
project, but here is the unvarnished truth from the man
himself.
