Tony Blair’s long-awaited memoirs is finally in the market. A Journey revolves
around the last 18-year-period, including the most controversial post 9/11 era.
around the last 18-year-period, including the most controversial post 9/11 era.Tony Blair was the youngest prime minister of Britain since Lord Liverpool in 1812. He served as PM from 1997 to 2007.
In the introduction Blair arrogantly writes, “There is only one person who can write an account of what it is like to be the human being at the centre of that history, and that’s me.” Yet in A Journey he acts as subservient to US presidents.
A second in command always acts smartly, apparently to appease his master and impress his fellow power players, signalling that he could replace his master too. In order to regain its glory, UK has anxiously followed this strategy since WWII. Yet US has always got the better of UK.http://jang.com.pk/thenews/sep2010-weekly/nos-19-09-2010/lit.htm#2
