Exceeding My Brief - Memoirs of a Disobedient Civil Servant

In this frank memoir, Barbara Hoskings recalls a career that took her from writing for The Cornishman newspaper to becoming press secretary for Harold Wilson and Edward Heath, who she accompanied to Paris for the signing of the Treaty of Rome, and to Munich for the Olympic Games. She also remembers the elitism and sexism she encountered, and the changes in attitude that she witnessed during her long working life.
