Diaries Volume One: Prelude to Power 1994-1997 (Campbell Diaries Uncut Vol 1) Book

Alasdair Campbell was well placed to chronicle the journey of the Labour Party from obscurity in the left wing to the New Labour movement. Campbell knows the true story of the conflict between Blair and Brown and the battle of the ego's that took place. He also knows how the politicians in the highest positions of power for the next 13 years behaved towards each other, and he spares no blushes, in this concisely chronicled daily journal. Sometimes a rather depression account, Alasdair Campbell admits that the most complex and intractable of problems received his greatest attention, and perhaps unbalance the narrative in favour of the least inspiring aspects of political life, rather than recounting the successes, of which he believes were many.Read More

    As Alastair Campbell said in the introduction to "The Blair Years" it was always his intention to publish the full version covering his time as spokesman and chief strategist to Tony Blair. "Prelude to Power" is the first of four volumes and covers the early days of New Labour culminating in their victory at the polls in 1997. Volume 1 details the extraordinary tensions between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as they resolved the question as to which one should stand to become Labour leader. It shows that right from the start relations at the top were prone to enormous strain suspicions and accusations of betrayal. Yet it also shows the political and personal bonds that tied them together and which made them one of the most feared and respected electoral machines anywhere in the world. A story of politics in the raw "Prelude to Power" is above all an intimate detailed portrait of the people who have done so much to shape modern history.
