The life of John Junor, Fleet Street legend, explored in movingly
honest detail by his daughter, the journalist and broadcaster Penny
Junor. John Junor was a brilliant newspaperman. As editor of the
Sunday Express for 32 years he wielded more power than many of the
politicians he wrote about, mixing with prime ministers, princes,
captains of industry and film stars. He was witty, charismatic and
flirtatious; he was also a difficult, bad-tempered bully with a
vicious tongue. Like him or loathe him, no one could ignore him,
and his public life flourished. Yet his family life was far from
idyllic. HIs domineering and destructive side led him to damage
those he cared for the most, in particular, his wife. Although he
never stopped loving her, they lived apart for the last 18 years of
his life as she tried to rebuild the confidence that he had
shattered. Two years after his death, Penny Junor was compelled to
set down her father's biography, partly to celebrate the life of a
powerful and influential public figure, and partly to come to terms
with her own emotionally charged relationship with him. Drawing on
interviews with his contemporaries, friends, adversaries and
colleagues, as well as his own family, this is a fascinating
portrait of both the public and private life of John Junor.
