“[A] vibrant, richly detailed look at [Tony] Blair’s second and third terms as British prime minister . . . riveting . . . [a] page-turning political biography.” —Publishers Weekly

The first volume of Anthony Seldon’s riveting and definitive life of Tony Blair was published to great acclaim. Now Seldon delivers the most complete, authoritative, and compelling account yet of the Blair premiership. Picking up the story in dramatic fashion on September 11, 2001, Seldon recaps very briefly Blair’s trajectory to what may now be regarded as the high point of his leadership, and then brings us to the point when Blair hands over the reins to his arch-rival, Gordon Brown.

Based on hundreds of original interviews with key insiders, many of whose views have hitherto been kept private, Blair Unbound serves as both a “frank and fascinating” second volume of this master class in political biography and a highly revealing and compelling book in its own right (Observer).

“A vivid portrait.” —The Wall Street Journal

“Filled with fascinating details based on unpublished documents and insider accounts . . . There are wonderful analyses of Blair’s conflicts with Gordon Brown, his relationship with President Bush, and his efforts to forge policies on issues as diverse as the Iraq War, Northern Ireland, and European integration . . . an outstanding work.” —Booklist
