The hotly anticipated memoir of one of New Labour's three founding
architects. Peter Mandelson is one of the most influential
politicians of modern times. The Third Man is his story -- of a
life played out in the backroom and then on the frontline of the
Labour Party during its unprecedented three terms in government.
Much of the book is devoted to the defining political relationships
of Peter Mandelson's life -- with Tony Blair and Gordon Brown.
Charting what he terms the 'soap-opera' years of the Labour
government, his book is certain to ruffle many feathers. Forced to
resign from Cabinet twice in three years, Peter Mandelson has cut a
divisive figure through British politics but his time as Secretary
of State for Northern Ireland gained him many supporters. He was a
highly regarded European Commissioner before being brought back
into British politics by Gordon Brown in 2008 to serve as Secretary
of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, and as First
Secretary. Containing a mixture of autobiography, personal
reflection and political history, The Third Man draws heavily on
detailed diary notes that Peter Mandelson took during the events,
discussions and meetings that shaped the government and the Labour
Party over 25 years. He began writing the book while serving as
European Commissioner, and has been completing it since leaving
office in May. Much has been written about Peter Mandelson as the
person at the heart of the New Labour project but this is the first
time we have heard the unvarnished truth from the man himself. The
Third Man is set to become the most talked about political memoir
of the year.
