The Insider by Piers Morgan
At the age of 28, Piers Morgan was made editor of the "News of the World", the UK's biggest-selling Sunday newspaper. The decade that followed witnessed horrific events like Dunblane, September 11, and the war in Iraq - alongside entertaining sport and celebrity gossip. This book is based on the diaries, which Morgan kept during this period.
