The Alastair Campbell Diaries, The Complete Edition, Edited by Alastair Campbell and Bill Hagerty. This is a great read folks, you see the birth of New Labour, the political cancer at its heart with the political war between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. The brooding Gordon Brown, the political dark arts of Peter Mandelson. The political spinning of Alastair Campebell. As a Conservative you cant help but wonder how we lost to these bunch of out of control Ego’s, but since this blog is a Conservative Blog its fun to see the history of the other side, if the press had known half the stuff or had reported it the New Labour birth would have been aborted at birth.
Also have Kissinger’s Year:1973 by Alistair Horne. It’s a great read folks, you see the destructive power of Watergate on Richard Nixon and how a domestic scandal had a damaging effect on Foreign Policy. The book covers Watergate, Vietnam, Yom Kippur War and Détente. A Great introduction to Foreign Policy folks.
On the fiction side we have:
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. A great way to focus the mind, relax but also gives the mind a murder mystery to solve. A great read on public transport.
