  THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHY OF THE BRITISH PRIME MINISTER 
  A Times Book of the Year; A Telegraph Book of the Year; A Daily Mail Book of the Year; A Waterstones Book of the Year 
  ‘Required reading for anyone who has an interest in who governs Britain' ALASTAIR CAMPBELL 
  'This will be the most important political book of the year’ MATTHEW D’ANCONA, EVENING STANDARD 
  This authoritative – but not authorised – biography by Tom Baldwin provides answers by drawing deeply on many hours of interviews with Prime Minister himself, as well as unprecedented access to members of his family, his oldest friends and closest colleagues. 
  Together, they tell an unexpectedly intimate story filled with feelings of grief and love that has driven him on more than any rigid ideology or loyalty to a particular faction. 
  The book tracks Starmer’s emergence from a troubled small town background and rebellious youth, through a storied legal career as a human rights barrister and the country’s chief prosecutor, to becoming an MP relatively late in life. 
  Baldwin provides a vivid and compelling account of how this untypical politician then rose to be leader of his party in succession to Jeremy Corbyn, then transformed it with a ruthless rapidity that has enraged opponents from the left just as much as it has bewildered those on the right. 
  Above all, this is a book that should be read by anyone who wants to understand how someone who has too often been underestimated or dismissed as dull, now intends to change Britain. 
  'The first serious and consistently readable biography of Starmer…It is a wonder that he has said so much to Baldwin' PATRICK MAGUIRE, THE TIMES 
  'This is an absolutely riveting and very timely biography' AMOL RAJAN 
  ‘Highly readable… Baldwin has peeled back more layers than anyone else' ROBERT SHRIMSLEY, FINANCIAL TIMES 
  This Sunday Times bestselling book is a journey through the history of democracy in the 21st century. It's an autobiography that explores the ideologies and processes that have shaped European politics. 
  For fans of Rory Stewart (Politics On the Edge), and Bob Woodward (The Final Days).

The book is a pragmatic guide for political leaders, focused on how to maintain power and navigate the complex and often ruthless world of governance. Although the text is commonly viewed as a manual for manipulation and a justification for Machiavellian deceit and cunning, it has also been interpreted as a realistic, if cynical, analysis of power dynamics. The work is a foundational text in political theory and continues to be studied and debated today.

  War Transformed: The Future of Twenty-First-Century Great Power Competition and Conflict provides insights for those involved in the design of military strategy, and the forces that must execute that strategy. Emphasizing the impacts of technology, new era strategic competition, demography, and climate change, Mick Ryan uses historical and contemporary anecdotes to highlight key challenges faced by nations in a new era of great power rivalry. Just as previous industrial revolutions have advanced societies, the nascent fourth industrial revolution will have a similar impact on how humans fight, compete, and build military power in the twenty-first century. 
   
   
   
  War Transformed seeks to provide a preview of the shape of war and competition in the twenty-first century. Ryan examines both the shifting character of war and its enduring nature. He proposes important trends in warfare that will shape all aspects of human competition and conflict in the coming decades. 
   
   
   
  Competing and engaging in combat in this new era involves evolved strategies and warfighting concepts. As the competitive environment and potential battlefields continue to change, conceptions of combat, competition, and conflict must also evolve. Mick Ryan makes the case for transforming how Western military institutions view war in this century.
