Tony Blair is the politician who defines our times.  On becoming Labour leader in 1994, he immediately set about transforming his party and rallying the country behind him, becoming prime minister in 1997 with the biggest victory in Labour's history, and ending eighteen years of Conservative government.  He took Labour to a historic three terms in office, as the dominant political figure of the last two decades. 

A journey of deft analysis of the nature and uses of political power and the challenges of leadership, an account of his years in office and beyond that charts the ups and downs of his career to provide insight into the man, the politician and the statesman.  As well as explaining why he took on public opinion to stand up for what he believed in, Blair also looks forwards, to emerging power relationships and economies, and to Britain's changing role, addressing the most urgent issues of our global world.
