About the Author

Donald Macintyre is the chief political commentator for the Independent and a frequent broadcaster.

From the Back Cover

Peter Mandelson's career is inextricably interwoven with the story of Labour's recovery from its near terminal eclipse in the early 1980's, the most dramatic political comeback of modern times. As well as being a biography of one of the most intriguing and least understood figures in British post-war politics, the book is also the most authoritative study yet of New Labour's formation and character under three Labour leaders.

"Like all the best biographies, it is as much about an age as it is about a man."
ROY HATTERSLEY, 'Independent on Sunday'

"Donald Macintyre's account of the disgraced MP's actions is the fullest we have"
PAUL ROUTLEDGE, 'New Statesman'

"A meticulously detailed, objective but sympathetic biography."
JOE HAINES, 'The Times'

"A painstaking, fascinating study, written with pace and sensitivity."
BEN PILMOTT, 'Independent'

"Donald Macintyre has produced what will be the standard historical record of this period for along time to come."
DEREK DRAPER, 'Guardian'

"This is an outstanding book. Anybody who wishes to understand the new ruling class, which assumed power in the General Election of 1997, should go out at once an buy a copy."
PETER OBORNE, 'Sunday Express'
