James Hanning is Deputy Editor of the Independent on Sunday.
"phone tapping" according to G.I.Forbes. This is a story of phone tapping that is only half written as acknowledged by the publishers note "in view of ongoing trials no index haqs been provided" (a poor excuse)The author is the deputy editor of the Independent on Sunday while his associate is a reporter who was at the centre oh the scandal.The phone tapping affected hundreds of people from all walks of life even a murdered child. All this resulted in the closure of the News of the World and multiple trials.A book of no merit.. WHISTLEBLOWER said Worthless nonsense.. Terrible nonsense - the boastings of a man who hacked the victims of the Afghanistan war. Its a very very badly written book, full of inaccuracies. I would advice not to waste your money.. is clear from reading the book that there was great hurry to rush it to print Stephen Kimotho Maina It is clear from reading the book that there was great hurry to rush it to print. It has a number of typographical errors which basic editing should have picked up. The story spun is very engaging but it appears like a book where additional material kept being added further along the book as it became available without aligning it to earlier material and which gives an impression of a disjointed piece of work.
