Yo, Blair!"How did it happen? Yo, Blair! shows that everything for which Blair is now so widely despised and disliked is not a random accident, but could be discerned in his career and personality from an early stage. Not a conventional biography of Blair, nor of his government, this is rather a polemic, in the tradition of Orwell: a blast on the trumpet about the most disastrous premiership of modern times."--BOOK JACKET. |
