Product Description
Review
Praise for ‘The History of the Times’:
‘pulsing with journalistic flesh and blood…Stewart has written a judicious, balanced account of a fascinating period in the life of a great newspaper.’ Alan Rusbridger (editor of The Guardian)
‘Pulsing with journalistic flesh and blood … a judicious, balanced account of a fascinating period in the life of a great paper.’ Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian
'Stewart has produced a book bursting with previously unpublished detail … this is not just the history of The Times, but of our times … all human life, as they say, is here. Times readers will find it a demanding but rewarding peep inside their favourite paper.' Western Daily Press
‘… it is one of the best evocations I have ever read of the pandemonium of a newspaper office … Stewart is definitive.’ The Sunday Times
‘Part gangland thriller, part heroic romance … Stewart argues convincingly that The Times by 2002 was a far more robust proposition than the paper Murdoch purchased.’ TLS
‘Stewart’s book should appeal to a wider audience than journalists… The Times’s story is told well here…To say [Graham Stewart] is fair may sound tepid. Actually it is high praise.’ Literary Review
'No biographer of Rupert Murdoch, whether hatchet man or hagiographer, has told you more between the lines than the proper and properly resourced scholar whose official “History of The Times: The Murdoch Years” slips sedately on to library shelves this week.' Peter Preston, Observer
'The latest Times historian succeeds in holding the ring with objectivity… He tells the story of the 1983 notorious Hitler Diaries hoax with verve and brio.' Anthony Howard, The Times
'[A] magisterial summing up.’ Harry Reid, The Herald
More Praise for ‘The History of the Times’:
‘The author presents an attractive and incisive … tour d’horizon of world history with magisterial loftiness.… page after page of inspiring prose’ The Telegraph, India
Praise for ‘Burying Caesar: Churchill, Chamberlain and the Battle for the Tory Party’:
‘A fascinating political story… well told, admirably written and deeply researched by a first-time author who has made an excellent debut.’
New Statesman
Spectator
'Graham Stewart...should be congratulated on agreeing to undertake the task...[he] does a decent job..it is thorough and...just.'
