Andrew Neil is the most successful and famous newspaper editor of his generation. At the helm of 'The Sunday Times' for over a decade he was always in the midst of controversy,often making the news as much as reporting it. In 'Full Disclosure' he reveals the stories behind the headlines which dominated the 80's and early 90's - and gives a behind-closed-doors account of what it was like to be a key figure in Rupert Murdoch's huge global media empire. Andrew Neil tells us of his battles with the Royal Family, the Thatcher and Major governments, and with the British Establishment - which tried to destroy him.He gives a unique,first-hand report of a decade of controversial scoops,campaigns and opinions which made him a household name in Britain,and 'The Sunday Times' a paper admired and feared throughout the world. Neil's 'Sunday Times' made waves like no other newspaper.We discover how he came across the Buckingham Palace conspiracy to undermine Magaret Thatcher,the reason he decided to publish Andrew Morton's book on Princess Diana,his vision of the Britain he would like to see,why he fell out with Thatcher and John Major,his battle to survive against a 'Sunday Times' old guard that resented how he was changing the paper, how Murdoch set a trap for the print unions which paved the way to Wapping,transforming British newspapera for ever - and the real reason why he finally decided to part company with his proprietor. 'Full Disclosure' is an honest,revealing account about our times from an author who was on the inside track.It is destined to become the most read and talked about book of the year.
