The memoir of one of New Labour's founding architects delves into the tumultuous years of Labour government and the breakdown of relationships among Mandelson Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Drawing extensively from detailed diary notes spanning over 25 years of British governance Peter Mandelson recounts his life spent in the corridors of power and on the frontlines of the Labour Party during its unprecedented three terms in office. This blend of autobiography personal reflection and political history was initiated during his tenure as European Commissioner and completed after leaving office in May 2010. Mandelson's revelations include the deterioration of the Blair-Brown relationship to the point where Blair labeled his chancellor as "mad bad dangerous and beyond redemption" likening Brown's behavior to that of a "mafioso" in their dealings. While much has been said about Mandelson's central role in the New Labour project his memoir offers an unfiltered perspective straight from the source.
