A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'One of the most uproarious and indiscreet accounts of public life in recent times' Daily Mail

Aged only 28, PIERS MORGAN was made editor of a national newspaper. He soon found himself thrown into a world of indiscreet dinners, private meetings and gossipy lunches with the rich and famous.
His diaries are those of a true insider and the cast of characters is endless. Diana, William and Charles; Tony Blair, Cherie, Gordon Brown; Paul McCartney, George Michael and Elton John; Rupert Murcdoch, Richard Branson and Al Fayed; Fergie, Paul Burrell, James Hewitt, Earl Spencer; Jeremy Clarkson, Paula Yates, Paul Gascoigne; Jeffrey Archer, Alistair Campbell and Alan Clark. To name but a few.
Often laugh-out-loud funny and at times nothing less than shocking, THE INSIDER blows the lid on the secret deals, plotting and power-games of Britain today and has become one of the most talked-about books of the decade.
'A right, rollicking good read' Andrew Neill, Evening Standard
'Love him or loathe him - and after this book you might be surprised - there really is no better or wittier source of scandal, news comment, gossip and pure intrigue than the infamous, and hugely readable, Piers Morgan' Financial Times
'Funny and fabulously indiscreet, this is a book that holds a mirror to the spinning and posturing of our celebrity age... scurrilously entertaining' Observer
'Opinionated, gossipy - utterly compulsive' Grazia

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The Insider dominated the media on publication in March 2005 and instantly became a No.1 bestseller. Not only did it fill thousands of column inches with its revelations about prominent political and showbiz figures, it was critically acclaimed across the broadsheets for its unique and fascinating insight into the worlds of celebrity, royalty, politics and the media.

Piers Morgan was made editor of the News of the World, the UK's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper at the record-breaking age of 28. The decade that followed was one of the most tumultuous in modern times. In a world of indiscreet dinners, private meetings and gossipy lunches, Piers Morgan found himself in the thick of it. His diaries from this remarkable period reveal astonishing and hilarious encounters with an endless list of celebrities and politicians alike: Diana, William, Charles and Camilla; Tony Blair, Cherie, Gordon Brown; Paul McCartney, George Michael and Elton John; Jeremy Clarkson, Paula Yates and Gazza to name just a few.

Entertaining, engaging and compulsive, The Insider was the most talked-about book of 2005, blowing apart every notion we have of politics, media and celebrity.
