À propos de ce contenu audio

Including an introduction read by the author, Max Hastings.

'Much excellent gossip, some of it wildly indiscreet . . . Hastings is a brilliant reporter' – Sunday Telegraph

'The acuity of his insights make this book a wholly compelling read' – Observer


In February 2002 Max Hastings retired from his position as a 'Fleet Street' editor. His is an enormously illustrious career, starting in 1985 when he was offered the Editorship of a national institution – the Daily Telegraph – in a surprise move by its owners.

This candid memoir tells the story of what happened to him, and to a great newspaper, over the next decade. It is all here: the rows with prime ministers, the coverage of such world-changing events including the end of the Cold War, the fall of Thatcher, the rise of New Labour and Tony Blair, the Gulf War, and the tribulations of the Royal Family. Max Hastings describes his complex relationship with his proprietor, Conrad Black and offers an extraordinary perspective on the difficulties of dealing with lawyers and celebrities, statesmen and stars.

Editor is above all the story of the excitement and exhilaration of almost ten years at the helm of one of the greatest newspapers in the world.

Much excellent gossip, some of it wildly indiscreet . . . Hastings is a brilliant reporter
The acuity of his insights make this book a wholly compelling read
An important as well as an enjoyable book (Roy Hattersley)
To his credit, Hastings is very much his own man
A gripping book, unflinchingly honest
