Summary

Tony Blair's religious and social motivations are uncovered through a series of interviews and first hand accounts with some of his closest contemporaries.

Author Biography

John Burton was one of those 'principle influences'. Burton was Blair's agent and mentor for the duration of his parliamentary career. In Blair's words: 'Without him, it must be doubtful whether I would ever have become Prime Minister.' Co-author Eileen McCabe, a television journalist in the North East, reported on New Labour's landslide victories that changed the political landscape for more than a decade. Together, mentor and journalist provide an informed account of Blair's political and religious journey that will help us understand more deeply one of the most enigmatic prime ministers of the post-war years. Far from being an exercise in hagiography, We Don't Do God succeeds in being both critical and revealing.
