Max Hastings speaks to Maurice Boland |
|
Max Hastings will, perhaps, be best remembered for being the first journalist to enter Port Stanley during the Falklands War. He has also distinguished himself as a military historian, and was editor of both the Daily Telegraph and the Evening Standard. In his memoirs, he has written about the rows with prime ministers, the coverage of great events and the daily routine of editing one of the great British broadsheets. In 2002 received his knighthood.
He spoke on The Boland Show about his new book ' Did You Really Shoot The Television', and reveals the sadness in his very British childhood, his love for a stocky Yorkshire woman who devoted her life to him and how his passion for firearms as a child nearly led to disaster. |
