Upon its publication, My Paper Chase received rave reviews
from newspapers, broadcasters, and bloggers across three
continents, and was a 2009 Notable Book of the New York Times -and
for good reason. It''s the wild and wonderful tale of anewspapering
and publishing odyssey that took Harold Evans from wartime
Manchester to London and finally to America. Editor of two of the
world''s most renowned newspapers, the Sunday Times and The Times,
publisher of Random House, and a bestselling author in his own
right, Evans brings to life print media''s glorious history as he
recalls his own-from unmasking the greatest Soviet spy to taking on
the lost cause of the thalidomide children-and winning-to clashes
with politicians, government agencies, and Rupert Murdoch, to
finally achieving what Scott Fitzgerald has declared impossible-A
Second Act in America.
In an age when newspapers everywhere are under threat, My Paper
Chase is a witty and inspiring personal story but also a poignant
and timely reminder of all that newspapers have been, and all that
can be again.
