THE CLASSIC ACCOUNT OF MODERN BRITISH JOURNALISM
'Hilarious' John Dugdale, 'My Favourite Media Books', Guardian
'A deathlessly great biography of Murdoch's newspaper'
John Lanchester, London Review of Books
'The finest book on British tabloid journalism ever written' Amazon.co.uk
'A searing exposé of one of the great horrors of our time'
Auberon Waugh, Literary Review
'A story which social historians of the twentieth century will not find easy to ignore'
London Review of Books
'The Sun is the rottweiler of British journalism, [as] this book most entertainingly explains. A splendidly racy account' The Economist
'A devastating inside account of tabloid culture as practised by the Sun . . . The book graphically portrays the bigoted, foul-mouthed fantasy factory'
Raymond Snoddy, Hard News
'An anarchic account of the history of the Sun and Kelvin MacKenzie's years as Editor. Could be a script for Carry On Up Fleet Street'
