Book excerpt: Peter Riddell turns his attention to the curious relationship between Tony Blair and George W. Bush in what is certain to be one of the best-selling political books of 2003. Placing Blair and Bush in the context of Anglo-American relations throughout history, Riddell traces their relationship from its early tensions, through 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan and onto Blair's apparent subservience to Bush over Iraq. He discovers a complex and often bizarre relationship rooted in a failed British foreign policy that will soon be forced to choose between America and Europe.
