A Journey

Author Tony Blair
Publisher Hutchinson


Dear Reader

Despite its appearance this book is not boring; it's a long journey of a politician.

This book is a controversial autobiography, especially,  during the chapters dedicated to the war in Iraq.

According to his pen the UK intervention was  "baptised" by the fact that,  Saddam  Hussein detained the weapons of mass destruction.

It is also true that the motivations of the intervention were disavowed by the report compiled by David Kelly, a British scientist and expert on biological warfare.

In his defence  he tell us that his decision was derived by the fact that the UK's intervention was reasonable and legal according to the reports on his hands.

I'd like to speculate on the fact that the hidden message of these chapters are those of a human being with his strenght and weakness, especially when he admit clearly his problems with the bottle, and when he admits that he is a  political "manipulator" in my opinion this is a rare autobiography if we consider him as a  politician.

Cheers

Italo
