The New Machiavelli is a gripping account of life inside 'the bunker' of Number 10. In his twenty-first century reworking of Niccolo Machiavelli's influential masterpiece, The Prince, Jonathan Powell - Tony Blair's Chief of Staff from 1994 - 2007 - recounts the inside story of that period, drawing on his own unpublished diaries. Taking the lessons of Machiavelli derived from his experience as an official in fifteenth-century Florence, Powell shows how these lessons can still apply today. Illustrating each of Machiavelli's maxims with a description of events that occurred during Tony Blair's time as Prime Minister, The New Machiavelli is designed to be The Prince for modern times.

Facsinating in parts, especially when he covers the poisionous relationship between Blair and Brown, and tedious in others where he brushes over the scandals as though they were minor speed bumps.
You cannot help but think that the Machiavelli link is a touch arrogant, as he tries to justify the autocratic way that they ran the government as the right way. ( )
