Off Whitehall: A View from Downing Street by Tony Blair's Adviser
| | Off Whitehall: A View from Downing Street by Tony Blair's Adviser | | by Derek Scott | | | | The relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown is unique in British politics and this book describes it from close quarters. The author has seen both men in action, advising the Prime Minister for over six years in Downing Street. In government Blair has allowed Brown unprecedented sway over domestic policies, while keeping a firm grip on foreign affairs, including Europe. Derek Scott exposes some of the tensions between the two neighbours both in Downing Street and in Whitehall and critically explores Tony Blair's broader vision for Britain within the European Union. This is a revealing book by a top insider in Britain's political world who is now freed from the constraints of his Downing Street role. It will have a major impact on how the Blair government is viewed by commentators and historians. | Check prices at:
