The Interview Archive

Available for over a year

Tony Blair was Britain's Prime Minister for ten years. During the three years since he left office he's been writing his memoirs and in them he reveals the human side of being a leader. It's his version of how he re-shaped his party and won three successive elections. On The Interview he tells Owen Bennett Jones what mattered to him in the decisions he took, and in particular on the decision which was to define his political career - the invasion of Iraq.
