Mandelson by Donald Macintyre
The "Prince of Darkness" to his enemies, Peter Mandelson is one of the most effective political power brokers ever seen in British politics. He is widely credited with having masterminded the renaissance of the Labour Party and bringing about their return to power. This biography examines the paradox of the pioneer of modern political campaigning techniques, famously supposed to have said of the 1987 election that "the packaging was great, it was just that the product kept seeping though", who is also steeped in the traditions of the party, grandson of the great Herbert Morrison, and an assiduous constituency MP.
'The political book of the yearMore than just a biography, it's an incomparable guide to New Labour...This is an outstanding book. Anybody who wishes to understand the new ruling class, which assumed power in the General Election of 1997, should go out at once and obtain a copy' Peter Oborne, Sunday Express 'The definitive history of New Labour to date' Sion Simon, Times Literary Supplement 'Like all the best biographies, it is as much about an age as it is about a man' Roy Hattersley, Independent on Sunday 'A meticulously detailed, objective but sympathetic biography' Joe Haines, Sunday Times 'A painstaking, fascinating study, written with pace and sensitivity' Ben Pimlott, Independent Unputdownable!'
