Private Eye: The 60 Yearbook is a history of the last 60 years, as
seen by Britain's first, most successful and indeed only
fortnightly satirical magazine. From the Beatles to Brexit, JFK to
Trump, the Moon landings to the Mars landings, it tells the story
of the past six decades as they were recorded in the Eye's pages.
The news stories you remember - and plenty you may have forgotten -
are retold in cartoons, covers and the magazine's legendary spoofs
as well as extensive extracts from some of its best-loved features
like Mrs Wilson's Diary, Dear Bill and The Secret Diary of John
Major. It is also the story of the headlines Private Eye made
itself, from the earliest stirrings of investigative journalism
exposing the Poulson Scandal and Ronan Point, through major
miscarriages of justice like the Stephen Lawrence case and the
Lockerbie cover-up and national scandals that have cost the country
billions in dodgy PFI contracts, government cock-ups and secret
sweetheart tax deals. Inside are the stories that led to the fall
of two cabinet ministers, countless corrupt business figures and
even the official in charge of making sure everyone else in
Whitehall's behaviour was above board. It includes writing by such
satirical giants as Peter Cook, Richard Ingrams, Craig Brown,
Auberon Waugh and Ian Hislop, and pictures by some of the world's
best cartoonists including Michael Heath, Gerald Scarfe, Nick
Newman, Willie Rushton, Robert Thompson and Ken Pyne.
