Point of Departure is Robin Cook's unvarnished account of the build-up to and the consequences of the second gulf war, as well as a broader look at the Blair government since its re-election in 2001: its increased alliance to right-wing figures such as George W Bush; its erosion of Cabinet government; its failure to use two record majorities to create a progressive leadership on social change.

No one is better placed than Robin Cook to write about this recent extraordinary period in our political history.

Drawing on his first hand experiences of the Commons and the Cabinet, Robin Cook mixes forensic analysis with a fresh and intimate narrative to explosive effect. The first inside account of the Blair government from a genuine political heavyweight, Point of Departure has already been heralded as one of "the most incendiary political memoirs for decades".

NOTE: The book is in very good condition, however the dust jacket has about one-quarter of the back cover torn off, and also has a tear about 3.5cm long. Other than that the book is unmarked, complete, and in good condition.
