Fleet Street, Press Barons and Politics provides a personal account
of the tribulations of working as a journalist and editor during
the 1930s. Collin Brooks recorded for posterity his observations of
the journalistic, political, literary and financial sets in which
he circulated. The journals open with Brooks working at the
Financial News. His move to the Sunday Dispatch, his rise to the
editorial chair, and his intimate friendship with Lord Rothermere
ensure that these journals offer a unique insight into the
operations and mentality of a press baron. Further, the diaries
offer a perspective upon dissident right-wing Conservatism during
the leaderships of Baldwin and Chamberlain, giving new insights
into the debates over India, rearmament and foreign policy as well
as the continued flirtations with Mosley and fascism. These
readable, witty and fluent journals, skilfully edited by N. J.
Crowson, offer a fascinating snapshot of Britain in the 1930s.
