Summary
"The most recognisable and accessible member of the Labour Cabinet, John Prescott has always been an invaluable member of Tony Blair's team, in recent years playing a pivotal role in trying to bridge the gap between Old and New Labour. From his alliance with Gordon Brown in 1997, to his more recent power-broking between the Chancellor and Prime Minister, Prescott: The Biography shows how his reputation as a plain-talking hard-hitter has elevated John Prescott to a unique place at the heart of British politics and at the forefront of the national consciousness." "This comprehensive and up-to-date account traces the Deputy Prime Minister's life from his childhood in Wales to the 2005 general election and its aftermath."--Jacket.
