Tony Blair reveals all (well, almost)

Leading with the main front-page story in today’s British press, The Independent reports on the publication of Tony Blair’s “long-awaited memoirs.” In a number of related articles, the daily examines some of the points addressed by the former prime minister in his book A Journey: these include “anger” with his successor and rival Gordon Brown, “sorrow” for the British troops who died in Iraq and Afghanistan and “the nightmare that unfolded” and “guilt.” However, The Independent notes that the book reads less like a memoir and more like “a long memo to Mr Blair's staff, setting out their boss's decisions and reasoning.”
