a personal account of the tribulations of working as a
journalist and editor during the 1930s." "Collin Brooks
recorded for posterity his observations of the journalistic,
political, literary and financial sets in which he
circulated. The journals open with Brooks working at the
Financial News. His move to the Sunday Dispatch, his rise to
the editorial chair, and his intimate friendship with Lord
Rothermere ensure that these journals offer a unique insight
into the operations and mentality of a press baron. Further,
the diaries offer a perspective upon dissident right-wing
Conservatism during the leaderships of Baldwin and
Chamberlain, giving new insights into the debates over
India, rearmament and foreign policy as well as the
continued flirtations with Mosley and fascism."--BOOK
