The Blair Years

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Alastair Campbell is often described as the second most powerful figure in Britain, right behind his old boss, Tony Blair. Campbell served as press secretary, official spokesman, and director of communications to former Prime Minister Tony Blair. Now, just weeks after Blair’s departure, Campbell has published The Blair Years, his revelatory and brutally frank diaries from 1994 to 2003 that document his work at 10 Downing Street.
