Synopsis

Sent out from his orphanage at the age of fourteen with just ten bob and a Bible, Peter Paterson enjoyed a front row-seat during a golden age of British politics. From working for Field Marshal Montgomery, reporting Winston Churchill's speeches and rubbing shoulders with the trade union barons, he witnessed a glittering cast of characters during the great days of Fleet Street. From Chairman Mao's China, Johnson's America and Brezhnev's Russia to the infamous Battle of El Vinos and his own ordeal in the Moorgate tube disaster, Paterson's rambunctious memoir proves H.L. Mencken s adage that news reporting offers more fun than any other calling.
