內容簡介

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 worldIn a 21st-century reworking of Niccolò 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 Drawing on his own unpublished diaries during his time as Blair’s chief of staff, Powell gives a frank account of the intimate details of the internal political struggles, including the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.

 

作者簡介

JONATHAN POWELL worked for the BBC and Granada TV before joining the Foreign Office in 1979. In 1994, Mr. Blair, then Leader of the Opposition, poached him to join his "kitchen cabinet" as his Chief of Staff. When the Labour party achieved its landslide victory in 1997 Powell was at the heart of the Downing Street machine. He was the only senior member of staff to remain at Blair’s side
