Author Description

<p>Last updated in 2001, John Rentoul's acclaimed <br/> <i>Tony Blair: Prime Minister</i> returns with an extensive new assessment of Blair's premiership after '9/11' - from the Iraq war and relations with Gordon Brown to his departure from Downing Street and political afterlife. <br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> 'Well written, thoroughly researched and informed by the balanced and subtle insights of a skilled journalist... Especially good on the influences that have shaped Mr Blair.' <br/> <i>Economist</i><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> 'Utterly scrupulous in presenting the [] information... [W]hen Rentoul occasionally presents his own judgements, they can rarely be faulted.' Peter Oborne, <br/> <i>Sunday Express</i><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> 'Written with care, thought... and a fine understanding of political nuances.' Ben Pimlott<br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> 'An extraordinary achievement, flashing with a peculiarly devastating form of sympathy.' Craig Brown, <br/> <i>Mail on Sunday</i><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/> 'With further updates, this biography will almost certainly become the definitive one.' Rachel Sylvester, <br/> <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br/> </p>
