Illustrating each of Machiavelli's maxims with a description of
events that occurred during Tony Blair's time as prime minister,
Blair's former close adviser gives a devastating, frank, and
insightful analysis of how power is wielded in the modern world In
a 21st-century reworking of Niccolo Machiavelli's influential
masterpiece, Jonathan Powell argues that the Italian philosopher is
misunderstood, and explains how the lessons derived from his
experience as an official in 15th-century Florence can still apply
today. Drawing on his own unpublished diaries during his time as
Blair's chief of staff, Powell gives a frank account of the
intimate details of the internal political struggles, including the
failure to join the Euro or hold a referendum on the European
constitution; the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo; the peace
negotiations in Northern Ireland; and the relations with Clinton,
Bush, and Chirac. Short, stark, and clear--much like" The
Prince"--this gripping account of life inside "the bunker" of
Number 10 draws lessons from those experiences, not just for
political leaders but for anyone who has access to the levers of
power.
