Items related to Brown's Britain: How Gordon Runs the Show
Synopsis
When Gordon Brown reluctantly stepped aside in the race for the Labour leadership in 1994, he entered into a fragile, turbulent but hugely successful political marriage. In return for the keys to Number 10, Tony Blair was forced to cede almost complete control over the domestic agenda to his Chancellor.
This book, for which Peston was granted unprecedented access to the Chancellor and his friends and colleagues, draws back the veil on the brooding man who has been Britain's longest serving and arguably most powerful Chancellor in more than 100 years. Filled with telling quotes and unexpected insights, it takes you right to the heart of the secret power games that go on behind the gates of Downing Street, and looks ahead at what Brown would do if he were to become Prime Minister in name as well as deed.

He lives in London with his wife, Sian Busby, the writer and filmmaker. They have two sons, Simon and Max.
Review
"Brown's Britain did not come as news to many political reporters. This is not to slight Peston. On the contrary, it is to assert the believability of his findings." Jonathan Freedland "Brown's Britain by Robert Peston may be taken as an authoritative explanation of Brown's quarrel with the Prime Minister." The Guardian "Peston has written a book which everyone interested in serious politics - the politics of ideas - should read." Roy Hattersley, the Observer "Only a few people know what really makes Gordon Brown tick. Robert Peston has shown he is one of them. This book lets the reader in on the secret." Gavyn Davies "The sensational nature of these {Peston's} revelations, the absence of detailed and unequivocal denials from both of them is in itself a further form of confirmation." The Independent "The feuding has culminated in an authoritative book by journalist Robert Peston. It is a startling story, one that has yet to be convincingly denied by the Prime Minister or any of those around him." Daily Express "Robert Peston, the author of the book which contains the withering quote, is a highly reputable journalist." Daily Mail"
