Product Description

Product Description
When Andrew Morton's world-famous biography, Diana: Her True Story, was first published, it caused a media frenzy, severely jolted the royal family and the Palace hierarchy, and shook the British Establishment to its foundations. Later revealed as having been written with the Princess's full cooperation, this world bestseller is now seen as the nearest thing to her official biography. Yet it was not the full story, nor could it have been, given the circumstances at the time. This is even more apparent in the light of events that have occurred since her death, which have been played out under the harsh gaze of the media, once again catapulting Diana's name back into the spotlight. Figures such as her sometime lover James Hewitt, her butler Paul Burrell and Prince Charles's valet Michael Fawcett have emerged, while intriguing comments that Diana made to Morton in taped conversations, and which have never been published, become supremely important in view of subsequent events. Friends, advisers and colleagues, interviewed now, more than six years after her death, feel a far greater freedom in speaking of her than once they did. In what is bound to be seen as the definitive study of the Princess in the most crucial period of her short life, Diana: In Pursuit of Love provides the last word on one of the best-loved figures of our era.

4.0 out of 5 stars a last hatch from the golden goose., 9 Jul 2004
By S. Hapgood "www.sjhstrangetales.com" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This isn't as pointless and trashy as one review I read elsewhere had made out, it isn't simply a prurient gawp at Diana's last lovers, in fact it is a well-written, highly respectful and sympathetic overview of the last 5 years of Diana's life. Mr Morton dedicates a substantial part of the book to Diana's charity work, particularly her landmines crusade. I know it's not fashionable these days to give royal biographers the benefit of the doubt, but I will in this case, as he genuinely seems to be concerned at the way some have tried to rubbish Diana's image in the past few years. Towards the beginning of the book he says that the Diana he is reading about in some books and articles is certainly not the Diana he knew.

Although the book is heavily biased towards Diana, Morton does also record some of her more irrational behaviour, but he puts this down to her being a young woman whose early adult life had been spent in a highly cloistered and unreal world, and this had stymied her emotional development. In her thirties she often acted towards her lovers like a silly teenage schoolgirl. He admits that Diana could be quite a handful to take on, she frequently bombarded her boyfriends (and platonic friends too) with endless phone calls, dozens in one day, regardless of what they were doing at the time. For instance she would expect Dr Hasnat Kahn, a respected and hardworking surgeon, to actually walk out of the operating theatre in order to take a phone call from her! Highly exasperating though this must have been, Diana's faults still aren't that significant on the human scale of naughtiness, and are far outweighed by her good points. She genuinely seemed to want to love and care for people.

This is a worthy tribute to the Princess from a man who had helped her to bring her problems into the world gaze. It doesn't tell us much new, apart for me anyway, the truth about the notorious "Panorama" interview, and how she was duped into the interview with false documents. But until we get the final truth about how and why she died, (if we ever do) I really don't think there is anything much more to tell, and Morton's book should be the last for a while. Somehow I doubt it will be though!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars well worth reading.., 5 Jul 2005
having purchased a number of books from this category i must say that mr morton is well focused on diana and what she has either said to him or what she wanted and not in this to make money with out any regard for other peoples feelings..unlike some of the authors that have submitted their books for sale on this site.

5.0 out of 5 stars nothing new here but a great book for all that!, 19 Jun 2004
By A Customer
this is a welcome addition to my library of books on all matters royal. nothing new here unless you have lived in a cave these past twenty years and i thought most of this book had already appeared in mr morton's other books about the late and mourned princess diana of wales. what marks out mr morton from the other and more intellectual writers on royal affairs is his knack of finding a new fact.that is not so here. but for readers not weighed down as i am with knowledge this will prove a light and diverting introduction to the enduring mystery of the late twentieth century: why did this wonderful woman die? it is not for me or mr morton to say. one day someone will attempt to answer this question, happily mr morton has the good manners not to try. as a lifelong royalist he knows as i do that to ask such a question is to invite ridicule.
