All Change

By Clive Bradley

All Change is a true insider's story of turbulent times in the the media in the second half of the 20th century when Clive Bradley worked at the heart of broadcasting, newspapers, book publishing and politics.

His fascinating memoir takes us back to the 60s and the pioneering years of political broadcasting when he ran the television side of Harold Wilson's successful election campaign. In the 70s he worked in newspapers as the historic domination by trades unions and press barons was replaced by new technology and new ownership. Then, in the late 70s, he took on the role of Chief Executive of the Publishers Association. Clive's determination and tireless energy helped to steer these industries through seismic legal, economic and technological change, often in the face of the wilfulness of flamboyant media egos.

As he lobbied government, regulators, and the EU, his memoir is filled with absorbing pen portraits of the diverse characters he worked with: David Astor, Tony Benn, Robert Maxwell, Rupert Murdoch, Arnold Goodman, Paul Hamlyn and many more as he brings alive the personalities that shaped the decades of his long and distinguished career.

This intriguing and important memoir is informed by a deep commitment to the industries he served, creating a fascinating record of triumph and turmoil. It is also a moving personal story of a gay man finding his identity during an era in an era of great social change.
