This is an excellent book: well written, mostly fair, insightful and entertaining. Even if you don't agree with Barber's point of view, you will find his survey of the past fifteen years to be illuminating and engaging. Potential readers should note, however, that this is a memoir, not a collection of contemporaneous diaries. Although the 'diary' format provides immediacy, it also imbues the book with a tone of twenty-twenty hindsight that does a disservice to its author. Despite this small caveat: highly recommended. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Lionel Barber was Editor of the Financial Times for the tech boom, the global financial crisis, the rise of China, Brexit, and mainstream media's fight for survival in the age of fake news. In this unparalleled, no-holds-barred diary of life behind the headlines, he reveals the private meetings and exchanges with political leaders on the eve of referendums, the conversations with billionaire bankers facing economic meltdown, exchanges with Silicon Valley tech gurus and pleas from foreign emissaries desperate for inside knowledge, all against the backdrop of a wildly shifting media landscape. The result is a fascinating - and at times scathing - portrait of power in our modern age; who has it, what it takes and what drives the men and women with the world at their feet. Featuring close encounters with Trump, Cameron, Blair, Putin, Merkel and Mohammed Bin Salman and many more, this is a rare portrait of the people who continue to shape our world and who quite literally, make the news.

> A chatty Scottish chauffeur picks me up at Glasgow airport but is soon lost for words as we drive aimlessly around the 2,000 acres of grounds around Dumfries House. He ends up dumping me at the wrong door of the mansion, where I am greeted by a friendly Scottish woman servant: ‘Good morning, Sir, are you here for the squirrel symposium?’ ‘No, I am not here for the squirrels,’ I reply, ‘I’m here to see Prince Charles.’ ( )
