Born into a working-class family in Sheffield, David Blunkett rose to one of the highest political positions in the country. "My Story" is an intimate diary of his years at the centre of power and is all the more remarkable for his daily challenge of working without sight. With characteristic bluntness, Blunkett reveals the inside story of New Labour, his relationships with key Cabinet colleagues and the hurly-burly of day-to-day politics. Woven in are Blunkett's unflinchingly frank personal reflections. Rarely does a politician so willingly admit where he went wrong and what he should have done better. From the blistering confidence of New Labour's early days, through the troubled years that led to his two resignations, "My Story" relates the journey of one of the most fascinating politicians of our time.
