    About this ebook

    Why did Tony Blair take Britain to war with Iraq? This book argues that he was following the core political beliefs and style - the Blair identity - manifest and consistent throughout his decade in power. It reconstructs Blair's wars, tracing his personal influence on British foreign policy and international politics during his tumultuous tenure.
