Sally Bedell Smith New York Times bestselling author of Elizabeth the Queen -- The death of
Princess Diana in August 1997 was one of the most shocking events in recent history. Many
events surrounding the tragedy have been shrouded in mystery in particular the BBC Panorama
interview Diana gave to journalist Martin Bashir less than two years before she died. However
the true extent of the deception the princess experienced as well as the cover-up which ensued
has never before been revealed - until now. Dianarama is the story of one of the biggest
scandals in public life and broadcasting history and of the cover-up that followed to hide what
happened leaving the damaged princess to her fate. Andy Webb is the writer and award-winning
filmmaker who obtained the secret files that first broke the story of Princess Diana's
betrayal. Here he offers unrivalled insider access to the key players in the drama in a
thrilling first-hand narrative putting the reader inside the room where each key decision was
taken. The story takes us from the moment BBC reporter Martin Bashir first contrived his
dossier of forged bank statements in 1995 to the 2024 courtroom where Webb faced the BBC's
elite legal squad to demand the release of 10 000 pages of highly contested documents relating
to the scandal. A story for the ages the fate of Princess Diana will be debated by scholars
and gossips centuries from now. This book filled with revelations which have not yet entered
the public record will become a key part in the first draft of history. 'Sensational . A
vigorous and heavily researched read. As entertaining and energetic as a thriller . Webb
juggles multiple revelations and unearthed seminal documents. In his meticulous and readable
style and with his newly uncovered items it is a shocking tale' i 'Anyone who cares for
honest reporting and the health of the BBC should read Dianarama . On one level it's the
definitive account of the BBC's disastrous Martin Bashir saga and its consequences by the man
who exposed it all . It's also a gripping tale of deceit cover ups and that very British habit
of punishing the whistleblower while promoting time-serving hacks!' Daily Express Books of
the Year 'You close the book knowing that Diana Spencer would almost certainly still be alive
were it not for the BBC's behaviour. If a member of the public like me feels on reading this
book a fizzing rage and grief for poor Diana - what can her sons brother and surviving
sisters be feeling?' AN Wilson Oldie
