Really informative book about Blair's perspective in key issues of UK politics and world events.
You have to speak the language in order to change the terms of the debate conducted in that language, otherwise you may be a fine example of the person who is right, but irrelavent.
Sometimes fascinating, sometimes cringeworthy (I do not want to read about Tony having sex with Cherie, thanks awfully), and sometimes wonderfully hypocritical: you are left, however, with the sense of a man who is human - and a man who occasionally says rather more than you feel he ought to. The first autobiography I've ever read, and an enjoyable one. (Incidentally, the first book I read on the Kindle).
