New Britain presents Tony Blair on all the major debates of British public life: from nationalized health care to crime prevention, from the welfare state to monetary policy, from religion to family values, from individualism to isolationism, from taxation to trade unions, from NATO to Northern Ireland, from community rebirth to economic growth. After seventeen years of Conservative Party rule under Margaret Thatcher and John Major, a change in Great Britain's leadership appears imminent. In Blair's Stakeholder Nation, government works in partnership with private and voluntary sectors to harness the power of the market to serve the public interest. In New Britain, we read in Blair's own articulate words how to improve the standard of living of all Britain's families; how to base a new social order on merit, commitment, and inclusion; how to decentralize British institutions of political power; and how to expand Britain's leadership in foreign affairs.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Tony Blair was born in Edinburgh in 1953. He became MP for Sedgefield in 1983, leader of the Labour Party in 1994 and prime minister of the United Kingdom from May 1997 to June 2007.

Since leaving Downing Street, Tony Blair has served as the Quartet Representative to the Middle East. He represents the USA, UN, Russia and EU, working with the Palestinians to prepare for statehood as part of the international community’s effort to secure peace.

In May 2008 he launched the Tony Blair Faith Foundation which promotes respect and understanding between the major religions and makes the case for faith as a force for good in the modern world.

His Africa Governance Initiative delivers projects in Rwanda and Sierra Leone and Liberia, advising the leaders and their governments on policy delivery and attracting investment.

As the first major head of government to bring climate change to the top of the international political agenda at the 2005 G8 summit, Tony Blair works with world leaders to build consensus on an international climate policy framework.

In recognition of his debt to the North East of England, he has launched The Tony Blair Sports Foundation, to increase opportunities for young people to participate in sport.

He is married to Cherie Booth QC, and they have four children.

An outstanding account of Political Ideas

Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2008

Prime Minister Blair, a great leader who not so long ago mesmerised the entire Britain, the Europe and the America. And who is capable, as yet, to lead the people to the political climax of ecstasy with his words, with his ideas, is a legendary figure of our époque yet to be discovered.
His book is an outstanding account of Political Science; the transformation of power to the new World. I see it necessary for all académicien and scholars.

The Lies of a masked war criminal

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2005

It is a tragic truth of history that some people who have offered so much have paid such a high price. The supreme example is Christ. By contrast, others offer only destruction and deceit yet are rewarded. Over thirty years ago Kissinger planned the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in which well over 1,000 young men were killed and their relatives still have not been able to bury their remains. Later on Kissinger became the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize (a prize named after the man who invented dynamite and held in the country which helped the Nazis in the war). Now after causing the deaths of thousands of innocent people (and precipitating a civil war in Iraq which may well cost thousands more lives)it was sickening in the extreme to see scenes of Blair with his elated smirk waving effeminately at his supporters after being reelected.
There are so many children in Iraq who will never again know the pleasure of playing with other children, of walking and running, of smelling wild flowers, seeing the colours of nature and feeling the warmth of their mothers' touch, let alone other lesser pleasure like entering an Amazon site and then reading a book or listening to music. Blair and his war-mongering collaborators have deprived these little children of all these joys and also of their lives! They died, like the British soldiers sent to Iraq, for nothing!. There were no weapons. Blair knew that all along (indeed if there had been weapons of mass destruction in Iraq the bullying super powers would been too afraid to attack - and this is the very reason why no such cowardly attack has been made against China and why Iran might still be safe). The Iraqi children died just so that Blair, for his own political reasons and ambitions could suck up to his American counterpart. Blair's protestation that 'I really did think there were weapons and I honestly do believe that the world is better off without Saddam Hussein' is hypocritical. Not only is such an excuse insincere, but it is not satisfactory to overlook the fact that it was the Americans and British who had imposed this leader on the Iraqi people in the first place.
Britain and America have got no right to intervene in and exploit situations in other countries. Would Britain like it if a super power attacked London so that British troops could stop occupying Northern Ireland? Would America like it if a hypothetical power superior to their own gave weapons to the 'American' Indians to recaim their former homelands?
Britain and America both fought bravely in the Second World War to overcome tyrrany. Now the situation is very different!
Perhaps the result of the British election is not so surprising after all. It is true that Blair has committed so many crimes. Not only did he plunge his country into a war (thereby exposing British subject to a future equivalent of the 11th September) but he also perverted justice by harbouring the war crimial and mass murderer Pinochet. He has also destroyed wonderful welfare institutions like the National Health Service and made it more difficult for poor people to claim supplementary benefits and pensions. Due to this selfish policy, of course the British economy is flourishing - less is spent on social needs : health care and education etc. Thus for the wealthy voters who already have a lot of pounds, these pounds (unlike the falling dollar) retain their value against the Euro. British holiday-makers can therefore put the 'unpleasant' subject of the war behind them when they go abroad and enjoy the fact that they get a good exchange for their pounds; in fact such a good exchange that they can probably afford to go abroad again a little later on in the year. Yes, some people have faired very well under the Blair regime. As the saying goes, 'I'm alright Jack!' This is the selfish motto: What does it matter if there is a civil war in Iraq as long as I am alright.
It is possible that, just as I find those fawning reviews about Blair nauseating, some readers (who naiively believe Blair to be a good friend to America) may well be be nauseated by my own review. I would just like to ask a simple question to anyone who condones Blair's actions (and the question is rhetorical). It would be frightning to consider if you would still admire Blair if it were YOUR son getting killed in action in Iraq? And perhaps it would be even more frightening if someone was the sort of person who said that they WOULDN'T mind. Please don't waste money on buying this book, nor precious time in reading it! There are so many good books available through Amazon. Blair is already stinking rich and would not appreciate any extra money from the royalties. He does not care about poor people. It would be better to donate the price of the book to a charity to help children in Iraq whose limbs have been amputated or to families of soldiers killed in their prime for this selfish man and his unscrupulous colleagues. There are so many other things you could do with this money and so many people who could be helped. Before you turn off the computer just check the news headlines. How many young soldiers have been killed today? How many Iraqi civilians have died? Maybe they were just going to vote in some pseudo-election (without the safety of American-British escort) or perhaps (after such a long period of unemployment) they have gone to be recruited as police officers (again without the protection of occupying troops) and have been bombed. Or perhaps yet another British or American technician has been kidnapped and may well die a barbaric death because his president (or prime minister) does not care enough to intervene on his behalf. Yes, Blair must share a great responsibility for all such deaths that have occurred and for all those innocent victims who will continue to die.

Deeply honest book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2003

Verified Purchase

This collection of essays and speeches roughly cobbled together
with the device of using "new whatever" for every chapter heading
honestly reflects the general tenor and feel of Government policy.
Every "old problem" poverty, inequality, etc etc is given
a spin round the block and dumped out without going anywhere.
However you must admire the honesty a man who can write...
"Should we do what appears principled or what is politically expedient" (page 58)
Worth it for the photo captioned "New labour, nouvelle cuisine"
