Product Description
Review
As the Director General of the BBC in a transitional period in the 1990s, John Birt did not exactly endear himself to everyone concerned with (or working for) that institution. This autobiography, currently 'embargoed' pre-publication by its publisher, seems designed to counter the image of its author as a grey man, or worse, by giving the inside story of his journey from working-class Liverpool in the 1940s to special advisorship to Tony Blair - via Oxford, Granada's World in Action, and a period as arguably one of the most influential broadcast media figures in Britain. It promises to reveal Birt as both 'likeable' and self-deprecatingly humorous - so the very wide review coverage it's sure to generate should be interesting.
David Mellor, The Mail on Sunday, November 24 2002
'Readers of this well and carefully crafted volume will be left in no doubt of Birt's qualitites.'
