‎Harper 2003. 256 Seiten 22,8 x 15,4 x 2,6 cm, Gebundene Ausgabe, Halbleinen, book in good condition, Exemplar in gutem Erhaltungszustand‎

‎Tony Blair was America's closest ally in the war against Saddam Hussein. It was a powerful yet precarious position for the British Prime Minister, as he fought for his own future in backing George W. Bush and sending Britain's forces into Iraq. In this gripping day-by-day chronicle, Peter Stothard takes us behind the scenes as no one has before to reveal a unique portrait of a political leader under fire at the center of the world stage. Over a period of four weeks in March and April of 2003, Tony Blair risked his status as the United Kingdom's most successful Labour Prime Minister for the chance of an unknowable place in history. Before Britain could help the United States, Blair faced a battle against his own voters, his own party, and his own allies in Europe. These were among the most tense and tumultuous weeks the world had seen since the fall of the Berlin Wall. In thirty days, Blair took on his opponents and won. Through it all, Peter Stothard had unprecedented access to Blair, from Ten Downing Street and the House of Commons through the war summits in the Azores, Brussels, Belfast, and Camp David. No writer has ever been so close to a world head of state for so long at such a critical moment. Stothard brings us inside the corridors of power during this extraordinary time, offering a vivid, up-close view of an enormously popular leader facingthe challenge of his life. How Blair spent those thirty days, how he fought for his own future as well as his vision of the civilized world, how he changed, and why he survived are at the heart of this riveting inside account.

"Fifth and grandest edition. John Strype was already collecting materials for the text by 1703 and an ambitious reprint 'with very great Additions throughout and illustrated with about 100 large Copper Cutts . requiring much Time and Great expence' was advertised as early as 1708. The advertisement was on the title verso of Hatton's New View of London a smaller and cheaper book whose popularity actually caused the postponement of Strype's more monumental work. His two folio volumes cost six guineas and the print run was probably at least 500 copies. He included what he believed to be Stow's entire original text which had become conflated with the 1618 and 1633 editions of Anthony Munday clearly identifying his own additions in the margins. John Kip who had been responsible for the views of London buildings in volume I of Mortier's Nouveau theatre de la Grande Bertagne 1707 is credited with about half the 28 engraved views of 'eminent places'. In addition there are two folding general maps of London one showing the city as it was in Queen Elizabeth's time 17 ward maps bks. II-III and 20 parish maps bks. IV and VI. The only map to be signed is the Parish of St. Mary Rotherhithe revised by John Pullen and engraved by John Harris. 2" Christies. John Stow's Survey of London first published in 1598 brims with amusing descriptions and anecdotes as well as highly detailed accounts of the buildings social conditions and customs of the time based on a wide range of classical and medieval historical literature public and civic records and Stow's own intimate knowledge of the city where he spent his life. "The reader of A Survey travels with Stow through each of the city's wards and the adjoining city of Westminster learns about the wall bridges gates and parish churches . . . Stow also records the negative aspects of urban growth in the shape of unsightly sprawl filth the destruction of ancient monuments and above all poverty. His book approaches the thoroughness of an encyclopaedia . . . It is noteworthy that while Camden's Britannia was written in Latin for the educated élite Stow's Survey was composed in the language of his fellow countrymen." This edition of 1720 greatly expanded with interpolated amendments by John Strype is considered the best and most desirable. "Throughout his life at Low Leyton Strype crossed the River Lea into London each week to meet and converse with his antiquarian friends and to call on his contacts in the book trade. . . . The Survey had been repeatedly revised and enlarged in order to keep up with the changing aspect of the post-fire city now much expanded and altered in its religion and other ways. . . . Although Strype had arranged most of the work by 1707 and the engravings had been prepared it was set aside after the publication of Edward Hatton's New View of London in 1708 which seemed to cover much the same ground and was considerably smaller and cheaper. . . . Finally once the defects of Hatton's book were acknowledged another agreement in November 1716 led to the Survey's publication at the end of 1720. . . . The print run was probably more than 500 copies . . . To quote Merritt ‘By this stage the Survey has a multiple personality switching with little warning from nostalgic Elizabethan antiquary Stow . . . to diligent post-Restoration recorder of events Strype and back again’ Merritt 87."
