In 1997, Tony Blair won the biggest Labour victory in history to sweep the party to power and end eighteen years of Conservative government. He has been one of the most dynamic leaders of modern times; few British prime ministers have shaped the nation's course as profoundly as Blair during his ten years in power, and his achievements and his legacy will be debated for years to come. Now his memoirs reveal in intimate detail this unique political and personal journey, providing an insight into the man, the politician and the statesman, and charting successes, controversies and disappointments with an extraordinary candour. A Journey will prove essential and compulsive reading for anyone who wants to understand the complexities of our global world. As an account of the nature and uses of power, it will also have a readership that extends well beyond politics, to all those who want to understand the challenges of leadership today.
Tony Blair became an MP in 1983, leader of the Labour Party in 1994, and was prime minister of the United Kingdom from May 1997 to June 2007. Since leaving office, he has served as the Quartet Representative to the Middle East, representing the U.S., the UN, Russia, and the EU in working with the Palestinians to prepare for statehood as part of the international community’s eff...

His Africa Governance Initiative works with leaders and their governments on policy delivery and attracting sustainable investment in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.

1. 自大狂,吹牛大王,理论高手。 2. 荣耀归于布莱尔,错误全是别人的:与高登斗,与保守派斗,与国民斗,与欧洲斗与中东斗与全地球斗,就您一人永远伟大光荣正确。 3. 看布什的传记,至少看到做了什么。看布莱尔的,只看到他一个人滔滔不绝地纸上谈兵。文科生桑不起啊。

布莱尔确实是天生的领袖素质。不过,这厮到现在还止不住地捧布什的臭脚。大概是怕否定了出兵伊拉克,也就把他也否定了,所以只有咬死不松口。后半部分一半的内容是在抱怨布朗给他拆台。政治斗争真是高深,拆他台的最后还传位给布朗。

Hard to say. Being a politician basically means to kiss sincerity goodbye even though he might mean it. But he's a natural leader, talented.

写的没诚意,没有什么内容,可能写的太早了,政治生涯还没结束,很多话不能说/不能写,失望,也可能英国的政治人物就这么油腻。
