Description: STORIES BEHIND SOME TOP STORIES OF OUR TIME THIS IS THE FRANK AND RIVETING AUTOBIOGRAPHY of one of the most interesting and influential international journalists and authors of recent times - Harold Evans whose career took him to the heights of the London news world and finally to publishing and writing books in America. His sub-title for the book is "True Stories of Troubled Times", an enticing lead-in to stories behind some of the major headlines on his watch. Sir Harold (he was knighted in 2004 for services to journalism) was in the forefront of coverage of stories like the betrayal of the British diplomat Kim Philby who spied for the KGB, the effects that the drug thalidomide had on unborn children, and shocking incidents in the Northern Ireland struggle. He rose to be editor of The Sunday Times and later The Times, two of Britain's top newspapers. In America he was the head of a major publishing company and a successful author.
