On May 1st 1997, Paddy Ashdown knew that any hope of a formal alliance with the Labour Party had been buried in Tony Blair's landslide election victory. This second volume of his Diaries reveals in detail the edgy cooperation that Ashdown and Blair maintained in the first two year of Labour's administration, Ashdown's continued involvement in the Balkan wars and the last days of his leadership.
