Probably the most explosive book of the year will be Tom Bower's Broken Vows - Tony Blair and the Tragedy of Power. Bower has a reputation for unearthing unwelcome truths.
Britain began the twenty-first century convinced of its creativity. Throughout the New Labour era, the visual and performing arts, museums and galleries, were ceaselessly promoted as a stimulus to national economic revival, a post-industrial revolution where spending on culture would solve everything, from national decline to crime. Tony Blair heralded it a “golden age.” Yet despite huge investment, the audience for the arts remained a privileged minority. So what went wrong?
Profiles British Prime Minister Tony Blair, including his years as a rebellious teen, a rock promoter, and a politician who has faced major challenges at home and abroad.
The Ghost by Robert HarrisThe Ghost by Robert Harris
An amazing political thriller novel. An unknown writer was invited to write an autobiography of newly unseated British prime minister named Adam Lang (disguised version of Tony Blair). A writer didn't suspect what a shocking truth will reveal to him.
