Özet

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.

Fascinating and incisive, this is a wonderfully brisk tour of a formative moment in centre‑right publishing. Hastings’ editorial eye remains as sharp as ever, and the result is both illuminating and highly enjoyable.

Excellent. Max Hastings at his best

One of the best memoirs I’ve ever read, which gives an indepth and engaging account of the author’s time as editor of The Daily Telegraph. Max Hastings has an excellent writing style and painted a vivid picture of the political climate of the time and the challenges of reviving a flagging newspaper. Narrator was perfectly suited to the story too. I really didn’t want it to end.

Outstanding Memoir
