Book synopsis

'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 1985 Max Hastings was offered the editorship of a nearly bankrupt national institution – the Daily Telegraph – in a surprise move by its owners. This candid and entertaining memoir tells the story of what happened next both to him and to the newspaper he revived. It is all here: the rows with prime ministers, the coverage world events, the daily office dramas.

Max describes his complex relationship with proprietor Conrad Black and offers an extraordinary perspective on the fall of Margaret Thatcher, decline of John Major and rise of Tony Blair. From the troubles of the Royal Family to the difficulties of dealing with lawyers, celebrities and statesmen, Editor is a compelling and vivid account of a turbulent ten years by the man with the inside scoop.

'I doubt any book captures so well the romance and thrill of running a great newspaper' – Nicholas Shakespeare, Evening Standard
