A compelling and revealing account of the rise of New Labour and the tumultuous years of Tony Blair's leadership, 'The Blair Years' provides an important record of a remarkable decade in our national life.

The story of a psychiatrist, his patients and family, and the pressures they bring to bear upon each other. This is Tony Blair's former spin doctor Alastair Campbell's first novel.

The Marketing Launchpad crystalises theory, best practice and experience into one practical volume that provides exactly what its title says: a launchpad to help your business lift off with successful marketing.

The four volumes of spin-doctor and strategist Alastair Campbell's Diaries were a publishing sensation. As British Prime Minister Tony Blair's right-hand man, former journalist and political analyst Campbell played a critical role in every aspect of 'New' Labour strategy. Charting the course of British government from May 1994 to September 2001, Campbell's relentlessly honest, often controversial, occasionally brutal and always razor-sharp commentary has drawn critical acclaim around the world.

As Alastair Campbell said in the introduction to The Blair Years, it was always his intention to publish the full version, covering his time as spokesman and chief strategist to Tony Blair. Prelude to Power is the first of four volumes, and covers the early days of New Labour, culminating in their victory at the polls in 1997.

It begins on September 12, 2001 as world leaders assess their response to Al Qaida terrorist attacks in New York and Washington the day before, a day which wrote itself immediately into the history books: 9/11, and it ends on the day Campbell leaves Downing Street.

Are you happy? Does it matter? Increasingly, governments seem to think so. As the UK government conducts its first happiness survey, Alastair Campbell looks at happiness as a political as well as a personal issue - what it should mean to us, what it means to him.

Drawing on the wisdom of an astonishing array of talented people - from elite athletes to top managers, from rulers of countries to rulers of global business empires, the author uses his forensic skills, as well as his own experience of politics and sport, to get to the heart of success. He examines how winners tick.

This latest volume of Campbell's acclaimed diaries sees the author, and the country, at a profound crossroads. Somehow Campbell must emerge from the ruins and grapple with his own future; just as Britain begins its own journey into austerity and, eventually, to Brexit.
