The Burden of Power is the fourth volume of Alastair Campbell's diaries & perhaps the most eagerly awaited given the ground it covers. It begins on September 11 2001 a day which immediately wrote itself into the history books & it ends on the day Campbell leaves Downing Street. In between there are two wars: first Afghanistan & then even more controversially Iraq. It was the most difficult decision of Tony Blair's premiership & almost certainly the most unpopular. Campbell describes in detail the discussions with President Bush & other world leaders as the steps to war are taken & delivers a unique account of Blair as war leader. He records the enormous political difficulties at home & the sense of crisis that engulfed the government after the suicide of weapons inspector David Kelly. & all the while Blair continues to struggle with two issues that ran throughout his time in government
- fighting for peace in Northern Ireland & trying to make peace with Gordon Brown. & Campbell continues to struggle balancing the needs of his family with one of the most pressurised roles in politics. Riveting & revelatory The Burden of Power is as raw & intimate a portrayal of political life as you are ever likely to read.
