On a Clear Day

This extraordinary autobiography includes new chapters and has been updated since it was first released in 1995. This is by no means a conventional 'political' autobiography, but rather an inspiring, and often hilarious account of a man overcoming disability and beating the system - with the help of a dog. David Blunkett was born blind, which makes his struggle to the top - he is now the Home Secretary - all the more remarkable. At the Manchester Road School for the Blind he began learning braille and at sixteen joined the Labour Party, then Sheffield University beckoned. David chose to train with a guide dog, and Ruby, his golden labrador, was allowed to sit by him in the Commons, as were her successors, Offa and Lucy. Being an MP meant that the author could start to bring about the changes he hoped to effect. David Blunkett talks candidly about the good times and the bad.

The Blunkett Tapes: My Life in the Bear Pit

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc.

<p>Partly in response to the very low voter turnout for the 2001 general election, the Home Secretary for the current British Labour government suggests how to renew and strengthen democratic politics. He argues that government must retain democratic legitimacy, that prosperity must be balanced with social fairness and quality of life, and that a civic culture and sense of common identity must be sustained while recognizing diversity. He has not indexed his treatise. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)</p>
