Description

John Tusa's memoir is a candid and insightful account of his life and career as a journalist, broadcaster, and arts leader. The book offers a unique perspective on the inner workings of the BBC, including a tumultuous period under the leadership of Chairman 'Dukey' Hussey.

From his time as head of a Cambridge college to his tenure as the director of the Barbican Centre, Tusa shares stories of the absurdities and challenges of leading arts organisations. His experiences provide a fascinating case study of the complexities of academic and cultural life.

This memoir is a valuable contribution to the history of the BBC and the arts, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the personalities and power struggles that shape these institutions.
