"Minkin's fascinating and illuminating journey through the archaeology of Labour's underworld" (Ivor Gaber, Times Higher Education Supplement, 14/08/2014) "infinitely painstaking in rooting out the details of Party management under New Labour" (Stan Newens, The Spokesman, 125, 2014) "Party politics - boring? Oh, no. There are many facets to this extra-ordinarily well written and extensively sourced study" (Peter Kenyon, Chartist #270, September 2014) The book reads like a thriller. What makes it captivating is Minkin's grasp of the scrupulous planning that went into Blair's managerialist coup, which, for a time took ownership of both the Labour Party and the country. For anyone interested in or studying the history of the Labour Party, this book is a seminal work. The thoroughness, the detail and the revelations around key moments in the history of the Party, its relationship with those in Parliament and leading the Party, makes it both a reference work and a necessary insight for those who wish to learn from history in order to apply the lessons to better organisation and more honest politics in the future. Milestones in the past (including in our post war history) shed light on the interplay of the role of powerful characters in politics and between administrative and organisational systems and political ideology and values. This tome which is in essence a life's work brought together in one volume, makes the point by dint of numerous examples, that what came to be known as 'control freakery' did not start in the last quarter of the 20th century. In fact, my only disagreement with Lewis Minkin is that I think there is for understandable reasons, a tend to over emphasise more recent examples of central control by leaders, implemented by key appointments within the Party structure, given the historical precedents which this book amply provides. I believe this to be both excellent academically and insightful politically. I would recommend it to those interested in the political process as well as those studying politics and political organisation. Rt Hon David Blunkett, former Home Secretary 'Lewis Minkin (1978, 1991) is the author of two brilliant studies of the Labour party...The Blair Supremacy consolidates his reputation as the outstanding scholar of the Labour party. It is a painstakingly and thoroughly researched study, formidably analytical and buttressed by huge amounts of systematically marshalled evidence... In light of one of the most extraordinary upsets in Labour's history, this book, more than ever, is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the party and its future - scholars, journalists, politicians, party members, and not least the new Corbyn leadership. Anyone who seeks to contribute to the debate over Labour's future, whether they agree or not with Minkin's arguments, will find they have much to learn from The Blair Supremacy's highly sophisticated and subtle analysis, rooted in both Minkin's penetrating intelligence and in his huge experience of observing and, at times participating in political life.' Eric Shaw, Political Studies Review, May 2016 'Lewis Minkin's mammoth, scrupulously researched, 800-page book, The Blair Supremacy builds on and develops the arguments mapped out in his earlier work...Those familiar with the earlier tomes will be unsurprised by the remarkable depth of the material marshalled by Minkin in the new publication alongside the sensitivity of his observations and his capacity for nuanced, qualified discussion of Labour politics. It is a scholarly tour-de-force which will become, unquestionably, a standard work on its subject.' Mark Wickham-Jones, Political Studies Review, May 2016 -- .
Reseña del editor
Lewis Minkin has immense experience of the Labour Party and has acted as adviser to two major internal reviews of the internal party organisation. As the author of two widely acclaimed and original studies on the Labour Party, The Labour Party Conference and The Contentious Alliance, he possesses an unrivalled grasp of the subtleties and nuances of Labour's internal relationships. The Blair Supremacy is groundbreaking in its investigation of the processes, methods, character and politics of party management, during a period when Blair strengthened his own position as he and his allies and managers drove the party through a ferment of new developments under the name 'New Labour'. For this book Minkin has been able to draw on a wealth of sources unavailable to other scholars. What is uncovered here is revealing and at times startling. It includes an extensive covert internal organisation, a culture which facilitated manipulation and what can be described as a rolling coup. These developments are rigorously and critically examined with a strong focus on three fundamental questions: How were these changes achieved? Was it, as it was often represented, a complete supremacy? Why did it end so badly with Blair being forced, in effect, to step down? The study challenges many misconceptions and sheds new light on the Blair legacy and on the intense controversies surrounding him. It also adds greatly to our understanding of some acute contemporary problems in British political life.
