Piers Morgan: The Classic Interviews

by Piers Morgan, John Sachs

Through his famous interviews with the stars, Piers Morgan changed the face of popular journalism, taking the British press into a new era of the cult of the celebrity. Years later, it is clear that this man set a standard that has been much emulated, but never equalled. At just 28, Piers Morgan took up a post at the News of the World as Editor, and two years later he was headhunted by the Daily Mirror. The reason? A unique gift for finding, investigating, and selling a story and knowing just where to look and who to talk to in order to get what a paper needs. This classic book is a wonderful collection of the landmark interviews conducted by Piers in which Britain's rich and famous make the sorts of revelations that only come about when a skillful interviewer is at the helm. These candid, often hilarious, conversations with celebrities past and present are essential reading for star-obsessed fans to journalism buffs alike!
