A gripping account of the moral and political challenges posed by
the Iraq war from the Costa Award winning author of The Volunteer
When Tony Blair plunged Britain into war he thought that, shortly
thereafter, Iraq would emerge as a peaceful democracy. Instead the
invasion sparked the worst foreign policy disaster since the Suez
crisis in 1956. A War of Choice is a compelling and authoritative
portrayal of Britain's war in Iraq. At the outset, Blair insisted
that Britain went to war to influence American decision-making.
Based on over three hundred interviews, A War of Choice gives the
inside story of Blair's war cabinet, Whitehall power struggles and
intrigue at the White House, and traces the evolution of the
special relationship, from the secret deals struck by Blair, to
Brown's desperate bid to save his premiership, which brought
already-strained relations with America to the verge of collapse. A
story of hubris and honour, betrayal and the ultimate sacrifice, A
War of Choice provides powerful insight into one of Britain's most
controversial conflicts. 'A timely work that offers a considered
appraisal of what went wrong' Times Literary Supplement
