	Review: The Accidental American by James Naughtie \| Special Reports \| Guardian Unlimited Politics
		Naughtie, well-known for his broadcasts on the Today and other programmes and a distinguished former lobby correspondent of the Guardian, mainly deserts a chronological approach for a series of essays on Blair.
		Not surprisingly, as Naughtie says, some of Blair's closest colleagues in the Labour party thought it a bizarre infatuation, as indeed it was and perhaps still is. Blair became, in John le Carré's phrase, a "minstrel for the American cause", which is not exactly what the British taxpayer pays him for.
		Naughtie says that Blair has been caricatured as a poodle of America, but his book shows that the idea of Blair as a poodle is more of a portrait than a caricature.

		James Naughtie: You argue that at one point in our history governments tended to look on the developing world, on health as a luxury that came after basic economic development, and you're arguing well, that's not what it is at all.

		Nor, as James Naughtie reveals in his insightful analysis of the Blair-Bush relationship, is Blair at all apologetic about his close alliance with Washington.
		Naughtie is a keen student of American politics and is dismissive of Blair's understanding of the deeper political currents that were coursing through Washington both before the war and after: "Even at the level of practical politics, Blair's touch in American politics is not sure," he writes.
		Naughtie's book pulls no punches in examining this glaring fault-line in Blair's relations with the Bush camp, and the reader is left wondering whether, when the full history of this intriguing episode in Anglo-American relations comes to be written, Blair will be exposed as being a bigger sap than Harold Wilson.

		Naughtie's book reveals the cost of that relationship for the Prime Minister, painting a picture of Blair as a 'man alone' whose belief in invading Iraq has never wavered but has also never been understood by those who once placed such hope in his government.
		Naughtie thinks the key to understanding why Blair, a pro-European liberal, and Bush, a conservative American Republican, could form such a friendship is to ignore the politics.
		Naughtie points to the fact that both Bush and Blair do not shrink from using the word 'evil' to describe their enemies.

	The Accidental American by James Naughtie from The Good Book Guide, online bookseller.
		Naughtie sequels his immensely insightful yet readable analysis of the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, in his book The Rivals, with yet another insightful and readable analysis of the relationship between Tony Blair and U.S. President George W. Bush.
		Naughtie paints the main figure in the landscape of portraits in living colour as a man struggling with contradiction, driven by a sense of destiny and conviction.
		In this powerful and compelling narrative, James Naughtie asks why America has so taken him to their hearts, and what this means for our politics, our leaders and the kind of country we are.

		James Naughtie, having previously written an insider's account of the turbulent political marriage between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, now turns to the relationship that appears about to determine the Prime Minister's place in history.
		Naughtie's reluctance to take sides can be an advantage, as in his incisive analysis of Blair's motives.
		Naughtie's history almost reaches the present day, but the final chapter is yet to be written.

	The Accidental American, by James Naughtie \| The Agonist
		The Agonist - James Naughtie's The Accidental American investigates the political life and leadership of a man who has done more to sell the war on terror and the war on Iraq to the world than any other: Tony Blair.
		For Naughtie, the key to understanding Blair is this: Blair fundamentally believes that he is right, that humanitarian wars are justified and the moral responsibility of great nations, and that the traditional wisdom attending the concept of state sovereignty no longer need govern international realpolitik.
		James Naughtie deserves credit, and his book deserves to be read, if only to remind those of us with real questions about the motivations and prosecution of the war in Iraq that sometimes there's nothing worse than a leader who has the courage of his convictions--especially when convictions seem to be all he has.

		Naughtie thinks the key to understanding why Blair, a pro-European liberal, and Bush, a conservative American Republican, could form such a friendship is to ignore the politics.
		Naughtie uses Blair's own words to defend his actions, the sort of tactic that would probably get short shrift on Today, but is understandable in the circumstances.

	Lone "voice of sanity" - Salon
		A furious row has broken out over claims in a new book by BBC broadcaster James Naughtie that U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell described neoconservatives in the Bush administration as "fucking crazies" during the buildup to war in Iraq.
		Naughtie stands by his claims and is said to be privately delighted that Powell and Straw have reacted so violently to the suggestion that the former U.S. general had fallen out with the neocons.
		John Kampfner, political editor of the New Statesman and author of "Blair's Wars," said Naughtie's characterization of the feverish political atmosphere of the summer of 2002 was entirely accurate.
