The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite Peter Mandelson to present the hotly anticipated memoir of one of New Labour’s three founding architects - The Third Man.
Peter Mandelson has been called many things during his three decades at the top of British and European politics: the Prince of Darkness, the Sultan of Spin, Labour’s Machiavelli, the Rock of New Labour. He has also gained a reputation for being trenchantly observant, wry, and never afraid to say exactly what he thinks. It is these qualities that he brings to this searingly honest story of his life as The Third Man in the most compelling political drama of modern times.
Come join us on Friday evening, November 5th to hear first hand from the man himself about his life experiences in British and European politics.
About the Speaker
Peter Mandelson, born in London in 1953, was educated at Oxford University. At the age of thirty-two he became Labour’s Director of Campaigns and Communications, and he was elected as MP for Hartlepool in 1992. During Tony Blair’s premiership he was Minister without Portfolio, Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, and Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. He stood down as an MP in 2004 to become EU Trade Commissioner, before returning to the government under Gordon Brown as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, First Secretary of State, and Lord President of the Council.
He remains in Parliament as a member of the House of Lords.
