187, p. PB 22.5x15.5 cm. The second instalment of the Hacker dairies provides even more hideous revelations of the conflict at the heart of government in late twentieth century Britain. We see the lengths to which Hacker's permanent secretary Sir Humphrey Appleby will go in order to preserve the Civil Service's traditional right tohonours or to defend the five hundred staff in a hospital with no patients, and we see Hacker himself now desperately seeking favourable publicity, now racked with anguish at rumours of a cabinet reshuffle. On the way we get an entirely new insight into the less publicised motives and techniques of the government interference in nationalised industries.
