 My thoughts on the book September 4, 2010
C. M. Baxendale (Scarborough UK)
I found the book very boring and self indulgent, I would not recommend it to anyone.
 The Third Man September 4, 2010
Kenneth Robinson
The book provides a very interesting insight into the struggle for leadership of the Labour Party. Peter Mandelson's portayal of the Blair/Brown uneasy alliance is fascinating and smacks of the truth. Mandelson somehow shakes off his reputation for primary Machiavelian roles for he seems always to have been in the shadow of the two leaders. He is still the Puppet Master to some extent, but is is more manipulated by Blair and Brown than might have been thought. His loyalty to Brown and consequent support in the early days is remarkable, for he sees the flaws in the Labour politician. He emphasises Brown's good qualities, but sees so clearly those limitations as a leader which became so evident when Brown became Prime Minister. Had he truly been "the Prince of Darkness" he should have schemed a better end to the Blair years. In the end, as is usually the case, politicians are revealed as ambitious and self serving. Mandelson, I think, is revealed as a man of enormous talent who might just have failed to be the major political player he could have been.
