James Cridland's reading reviewed The Blair years by Alastair Campbell (Borzoi book)
Review of 'The Blair years' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A fascinating read - I grew up during the Blair government, and these diaries show that it wasn't quite as well organised as it seemed. Particularly, the part of the media to destabilise a government appears to be quite well displayed here. As the world moves on, I'm quite impressed with Campbell - self-validating though this might be, there are some fascinating parts of this for anyone seeking to understand the world as it was back then.
