Summary

"Andrew Rawnsley, the award-winning political commentator and broadcaster, measures the successes and failures of the least experienced cabinet to take office in more than a century, as it battles to master the challenges of government. He teases out the contradictions and explores the conflicts within the New Labour project. With vividly drawn portraits of the key players and accounts of the turbulent relationships between them, he takes us through the decisive episodes in the government's development to reveal the ambitions, fears and motives of New Labour from the inside."--BOOK JACKET.
