Broken vows: Tony Blair The Tragedy of Power
For many politicians Tony Blair, British Prime Minister for ten years, remains the ultimate practitioner of a competitive, devious art.
His rise to power was meteoric, his command over the UK parliament and influence in the EU was unrivaled and yet he became enthusiastically embroiled in the Iraq War, which scarred his premiership and left a legacy of hate amongst most of his own political party.
Respected historian and journalist, Tom Bower has written “Broken Vows -Tony Blair the Tragedy of Power” which is a remarkable analysis of the man, his achievements and failures.
This book is a brutal assessment of Blair, who seized control of a tired Labour Party, modernized it and then dragged it reluctantly to the center-ground of British politics and won three General Elections. Yet his legacy remains controversial. Out of office he has gone on to become a very rich man, living a life of global networking and socializing with the international elite and also became a friend of dictators around the world.
