Mail Men

Mail Men is the gripping, unofficial story of the Daily Mail that the newspaper's bosses, and their lawyers, really didn't want you to read.

This witty and critically acclaimed account squeezes the juicy truth from people who spent years toiling for tyrants inside a 'hideous, joyless place to work'. And where did their masters end up? In the House of Lords, of course; founder Alfred 'Sunny' Harmsworth died insane as Lord Northcliffe while his Hitler-loving kid brother Harold was the first of four Lord Rothermeres. The tabloid's 1970s saviour Sir David English was also made a Lords but died just days before he could slip into his robes.

Today's supreme Mailman Paul Dacre is also a wannabe Peer of the Realm... but will the new King ever let him in?
