THE POWERFUL AND THE DAMNED - LIONEL BARBER KAR...

'Extraordinary' TONY BLAIR'Riveting' - PHILIPPE SANDS'Brutal  brilliant and scurrilously funny'
- MISHA GLENNYThe real scoop isn't on the front page'As FT editor  I was a privileged
interlocutor to people in power around the world  each offering unique insights into high-level
decision-making and political calculation  often in moments of crisis. These diaries offer
snapshots of leadership in an age of upheaval...'Lionel Barber was Editor of the Financial
Times for the tech boom  the global financial crisis  the rise of China  Brexit  and mainstream
media's fight for survival in the age of fake news. In this unparalleled  no-holds-barred diary
of life behind the headlines  he reveals the private meetings and exchanges with political
leaders on the eve of referendums  the conversations with billionaire bankers facing economic
meltdown  exchanges with Silicon Valley tech gurus and pleas from foreign emissaries desperate
for inside knowledge  all against the backdrop of a wildly shifting media landscape. The result
is a fascinating - and at times scathing - portrait of power in our modern age  who has it 
what it takes and what drives the men and women with the world at their feet. Featuring close
encounters with Trump  Cameron  Blair  Putin  Merkel and Mohammed Bin Salman and many more 
this is a rare portrait of the people who continue to shape our world and who quite literally 
make the news.
