Review of A Journey: My Political Life by Tony Blair
-
Anthony King
American readers need to know that British politicians are inveterate memoir-writers. On leaving office, prime ministers write their memoirs, but so do chancellors of the exchequer, foreign secretaries, and politicians far less significant than that. British publishers clearly reckon that, even if the sales of most such volumes are unlikely to be enormous, the village-like quality of British political life means that a fair number of copies will be bought and read by the authors fellow politicians, civil servants, and other citizens whom the politician in question will have encountered in the course of a long working life.
