Sunburn: The unofficial history of the Sun newspaper in 99 headlines

‘An astonishing piece of work’ James O'Brien

‘This book was a delight. Funny, scathing and witty’ Ian Dunt

You should buy this book if: a) you dislike the Sun, but have never actually read it to know why and/or b) you’re still not sure how we got into this mess.

Using his famed on-the-nose commentary, Twitter legend James Felton has dissected 99 of the most outlandish stories the Sun (for a long time the biggest-selling British newspaper) has run since it became a tabloid in 1969, hoping to answer once and for all whether the press has reflected - or manipulated - the British people over the last 50 years.

Included: joke-riddled and illustrated analyses of the Sun’s most infamous stories about celebrities, war, royals, crime, the LGBTQ+ community, migrants, the EU, politics, bacon sandwiches and page 3.

Not included: A blindfold. We suggest reading through your fingers instead.
