The Blair Government Reconsidered
Jon Davis and John Rentoul
- The complete account of the rise and fall of New Labour, from its hopeful origins, via boom and bust, to the electoral defeat of 2010.
- Includes contributions from most of the leading players in the Blair and Brown governments, including: Tony Blair; Alastair Campbell; Peter Mandelson; Ed Balls; David Blunkett; Charles Clarke; Alan Milburn; Tessa Jowell; and a host of senior civil servants.
- Traces the evolution of Blairite policy across the spectrum, from health and education to the liberal interventionist foreign policy that led to involvement in Iraq.
- Charts the difficult relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown—and how Blair sought to manage it.
- Illuminates the ongoing struggles between 'Blairites' and 'Brownites', as well as the equally important tussles between New Labour ministers and their civil service colleagues.
- Uses a mass of previously unseen interview material from the seminars of the Blair Government course, convened by the authors of the book.
- Sheds light on arguments that remain very much alive today, such as reform of public services, the right course for the Labour Party, and the Iraq War.
