Evelyn Waugh's brilliantly irreverent satire of Fleet Street, with an introduction by Alexander Waugh Lord Copper, newspaper magnate and proprietor of The Daily Beast, has always prided himself on his intuitive flair for spotting ace reporters.

'Waugh at the mid-season point of his perfect pitch' Christopher Hitchens
