Thirty Days by Peter Stothard
In this remarkable book, Peter Stothard presents a gripping account of how British Prime Minister Tony Blair fought for his political life in the days leading up to the war in Iraq. Over a period of four weeks in March and April of 2003, Blair risked losing his status as Britain's most successful Labour prime minister in hopes of earning a place in world history. At stake were the building blocks of the international community -- the United Nations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the European Union.
Through it all, Peter Stothard was given unprecedented access to the prime minister, following Blair from Downing Street and the House of Commons through war summits in the Azores, Brussels, Belfast, and Camp David. Thirty Days is a vivid, remarkably intimate view of an enormously popular leader facing the challenge of his life.Peter Stothard was the editor of The Times from 1992-2002, and is currently the editor of The Times Literary Supplement. An honorary fellow of Trinity College, Oxford, he lives in London."Remarkable ... Thirty Days is the closest look yet at the great sense of moral certainty and political uncertainty that defined that period." -- Chicago TribunePeter Stothard is editor of The Time Literary Supplement. He was born in 1951 and educated at Brentwood School, Essex, and Trinity College, Oxford. He was editor of The Times from 1992 to 2002, and has written widely on modern politics and ancient literature.
