Brown's Britain [Paperback]How Gordon Runs the Showby Robert PestonThis book is OUT OF PRINT You may be able to find a copy at ABE Books Description of Brown's BritainWhen Gordon Brown reluctantly stepped aside in the race for the Labour leadership in 1994, he entered into a fragile, turbulent but hugely successful political marriage. In return for the keys to Number 10, Tony Blair was forced to cede almost complete control over the domestic agenda to his Chancellor. In Brown's Britain, Robert Peston gives a first-hand and authoritative account of how Brown has turned the Treasury into the most powerful engine of Government and continues to marginalise Downing Street. He describes how Brown believes he is on a mission to roll back the frontiers of Thatcherism and restore the credibility of democratic socialism. This book gives an insight into the brooding man who has been Britain's longest serving and arguably most powerful Chancellor in more than 100 years. It also signposts the direction Brown will pursue if he finally becomes Prime Minister in name, as well as deed.Title Information
