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 effort to secure peace. In May 2008 he launched the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, which promotes respect and understanding among the major religions. His Africa Governance Initiative works with leaders and their governments on policy delivery and attracting sustainable investment in Rwanda, Sierra Leone, and Liberia. He also works with world leaders to build consensus on an international climate-policy framework.
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.

评分英国人啰嗦是啰嗦了些,比较扯。 对英国的政治格局和体系能有个大概了解。虽然都是两党较劲,和老美还是有很大不同的。 对于党内斗争的描述甚至比党外的还不少。 对于亲美的问题,其实不用下结论,阐述的够明确了。 对于布什,结合布什的自传,还是比较接近的。 英王室确实面临...

评分第一章 我开始想,我做了违反宪法的事了。我意图击败保守党人,而且赢漂亮;可是,如果我们把他们彻底挤出去,会怎样?幸运的是,不久之后,他们的票数开始增加。 布莱尔同学夸张了~ 阿拉斯泰尔……几乎就是另一个我。 这哥们在电影《女王》占了很多篇幅,似乎是挺有魅力的人...
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.
评分actually i want to listen TB read this book himself. he has a cute RP accent. 听TB念完的。
