Review:
A devastating portrait of New Labour in power. For all the concentration on Gordon Brown's bullying, The End Of the Party is a much more complete account of New Labour than that. It is all the more devastating for it. Labour has rubbished it. But this is the best history of New Labour in power yet - and unlikely to be bettered any time soon (Andrew Neather Evening Standard)

Rawnsley's book is a very good one. He's a top class political journalist who finds things out and writes them down extremely well. He has excellent sources and I don't doubt what he has written. Nor do I doubt its importance. (Danny Finkelstein The Times)

It reads like a thriller (Jeremy Vine)

As fine a piece of contemporary history as his previous magnum opus, Servants of the People

(Jim Pickard FT.com)

The detail is extraordinary (Victoria Derbyshire Radio 5 Live)

Rawnsley has talked to everyone who has counted over the past ten years... A brilliant account...a sheer delight for the political connoisseur. Almost every page provides a fresh insight or piece of information not previously in the public domain... Some of his passages of description, such as the account of Gordon Brown's failure to hold a general election in 2007, or the long run-up to the Iraq War, are nothing short of masterpieces of modern political journalism (Peter Oborne Daily Mail)

This engrossing book by Andrew Rawnsley, like its predecessor a decade ago, Servants of the People, has pulled together a lot of clues. Less than a week old, it already has Westminster agog with its well-sourced but roundly denied allegations (Economist)

Andrew Rawnsley, the man who single-handedly has reignited interest in the political book...The book that brought us the 'bullygate' scandal.. Go out and buy, buy, buy it now...I'm really looking forward to working my way through it (Nick Ferrari LBC)

Unreservedly recommended (GQ Magazine)

The book's authority rests on an impressive breadth of research... This lively Shakespearian account ... the most thorough, the most enjoyable and the most original book yet written about New Labour (David Hare The Guardian)
