I'm presently reading 'Blair & Iraq' by Steve Richards.

Interestingly, the chilcot report doesn’t look into the psychology of why Blair chose to side with the American president and lie to his own government and the British people.

From what I’ve read so far, Blair seems like a very weak minded leader who was desperate to remain popular with the Conservatives, Rupert Murdoch and President Bush and if that meant turning his back on his own establishment as well as the British people, he was willing to take that risk. He actually reveled in being called Bush’s poodle and saw it as a big compliment. He was well aware that Margaret Thatcher became a super star after being accepted within the close circles of Reagan; he wanted that same status.
