Obviously, I haven’t read Mr Campbell’s book yet, but I fear that his introduction tells me everything I need to know:
What I hope this book does is help to paint a rounded picture of a man of enormous drive and vision, who was determined to use his time in power to make a difference and brought about a lot of change for the better.
If that’s the rounded version, I’d hate to see the sycophantic version.

At last we shall receive an honest account of the events which took place during Alastair Campbell’s position as the Prime Minister’s Press Officer.
I very much doubt that… It’s extracts from his diary, chosen by him – I don’t think we’ll be seeing much of the ‘real’ Campbell..
I'm not taking comments on my blog any more, so I'm afraid the opportunity to add to this discussion has passed.
