The Vanity Fair Diaries: 1983-1992 - From the author of the Sunday Times bestseller THE PALACE PAPERS

''Indiscreet, brilliantly observed, frequently hilarious'' Evening Standard ''Hang on - it''s a wild ride'' Meryl Streep It''s 1983. A young Englishwoman arrives in Manhattan on a mission. Summoned in the hope that she can save Conde Nast''s troubled new flagship Vanity Fair , Tina Brown is plunged into the maelstrom of competitive New York media. She survives the politics and the intrigue by a simple stratagem: succeeding. Here are the inside stories of the scoops and covers that sold millions: the Reagan kiss, the meltdown of Princess Diana''s marriage to Prince Charles, the sensational Annie Leibovitz cover of a gloriously pregnant, naked Demi Moore. Written with dash and verve, the diary is also a sharply observed account of New York and London society. In its cinematic pages the drama, comedy and struggle of raising a family and running an ''it'' magazine come to life.
