In this fascinating account of his career in journalism, Phillip Knightley tells the real story of a life in journalism, telling the story behind the story. He began his career in his native Australia, working as a messenger boy for Frank Packer's Consolidated Press, before moving to Melbourne to work for Keith Murdoch's Herald. From there he came to England, via India, to begin a long career with the Sunday Times. There he was involved in many major stories, including the Six Day War, thalidomide, the Profumo scandal, political corrup-tion and the Hitler diaries fiasco. An expert on espionage, he was one of the few journalists to get access to Kim Philby in Russia. Very revealing, and often very funny, A HACK'S PROGRESS is one of the best books ever written about journalism.
