Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sunday Times bestselling edition of Chips Channon's remarkable diaries. Born in Chicago in 1897, 'Chips' Channon settled in England after the Great War, married into the immensely wealthy Guinness family, and served as Conservative MP for Southend-on-Sea from 1935 until his death in 1958. His career was unremarkable. His diaries are quite the opposite. Elegant, gossipy and bitchy by turns, they are the unfettered observations of a man who went everywhere and who knew everybody. Whether describing the antics of London society in the interwar years, or the growing scandal surrounding his close friends Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson during the abdication crisis, or the mood in the House of Commons in the lead up to the Munich crisis, his sense of drama and his eye for the telling detail are unmatched. These are diaries that bring a whole epoch vividly to life. A heavily abridged and censored edition of the diaries was published in 1967. Only now, sixty years after Chips's death, can an extensive text be shared. ________________________________ 'Chips perfectly embodied the qualities vital to the task: a capacious ear for gossip, a neat turn of phrase, a waspish desire to tell all, and easy access to the highest social circles across Europe.[...] Blending Woosterish antics with a Lady Bracknellesque capacity for acid comment. Replete with fascinating insights.' Jesse Norman, Financial Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second volume of the remarkable, Sunday Times bestselling diaries of Chips Channon. This second volume of the bestselling diaries of Henry 'Chips' Channon takes us from the heady aftermath of the Munich agreement, when the Prime Minister so admired by Chips was credited with having averted a general European conflagration, through the rapid unravelling of appeasement, and on to the tribulations of the early years of the Second World War. It closes with a moment of hope, as Channon, in recording the fall of Mussolini in July 1943, reflects: 'The war must be more than half over.' For much of this period, Channon is genuinely an eye-witness to unfolding events. He reassures Neville Chamberlain as he fights for his political life in May 1940. He chats to Winston Churchill while the two men inspect the bombed-out chamber of the House of Commons a few months later. From his desk at the Foreign Office he charts the progress of the war. But with the departure of his boss 'Rab' Butler to the Ministry of Education, and Channon's subsequent exclusion from the corridors of power, his life changes - and with it the preoccupations and tone of the diaries. The conduct of the war remains a constant theme, but more personal preoccupations come increasingly to the fore. As he throws himself back into the pleasures of society, he records his encounters with the likes of Noël Coward, Prince Philip, General de Gaulle and Oscar Wilde's erstwhile lover Lord Alfred Douglas. He describes dinners with members of European royal dynasties, and recounts gossip and scandal about the great, the good and the less good. And he charts the implosion of his marriage and his burgeoning, passionate friendship with a young officer on Wavell's staff. These are diaries that bring a whole epoch vividly to life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third and final volume of the remarkable Sunday Times bestselling diaries of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon ___________________________________________ 'An utterly addictive glimpse of London high society and politics in the 40s and 50s.' Robert Harris 'An instant classic . . . quite simply the greatest social and political diaries of the 20th century.' Daily Telegraph 'Rich, exuberant, copious and shatteringly honest.' Spectator 'A scurrilous read. Fascinating. Gripping!' Alan Titchmarsh 'Chips writes with such vividness that one feels one is living each day in his exalted company.' The Oldie _______________________________________ This final volume of the unexpurgated diaries of Sir Henry 'Chips' Channon begins as the Second World War is turning in the Allies' favour. It ends with Chips descending into poor health but still able to turn a pointed phrase about the political events that swirl around him and the great and the good with whom he mingles. Throughout these final fourteen years Chips assiduously describes events in and around Westminster, gossiping about individual MPs' ambitions and indiscretions, but also rising powerfully to the occasion to capture the mood of the House on VE Day or the ceremony of George VI's funeral. His energies, though, are increasingly absorbed by a private life that at times reaches Byzantine levels of complexity. We encounter the London of the theatre and the cinema, peopled by such figures as John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh and Douglas Fairbanks Jr, as well as a seemingly endless grand parties at which Chips might well rub shoulders with Cecil Beaton, the Mountbattens, or any number of dethroned European monarchs. He has been described as 'The greatest British diarist of the 20th century'. This final volume fully justifies that accolade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in Chicago in erstwhile London, Chips Channon was the quintessential party man who moved in vertiginously high social circles, partying and hobnobbing with leaders, politicians, actors, socialites, etc. Chips’ uneventful, yet colorful life would have remained buried under the sands of time, but for the slanderous diaries that run into 30 volumes of 3 million words. Chips’ diaries are replete with the juicy gossips of the private life of top-notch elites of the society that ruled the roost during the pre-war era. Despite being a livid and candid account of sexual indulgences of the most famous people of the time, Chips’ diaries also open a window to London in all its opulence, grandiose, and glamor. His unabashed love and proclivity for beauty and glamor, unrestricted fixation with lust, effortless and non-judgmental dissection of human flaws and foibles, is enthralling and appalling in equal measure. The censored version of the caustic diaries first published in 1967 sent the world in a tizzy and now it is soon going to be published in all its pomp and glory. One cannot imagine what unfurls when the unredacted version is made available to the public. The fact that the author put an embargo on its publication until 50 years of his death itself suggests his reservations regarding the diaries and its blazing contents. In spite of its libelous nature, one cannot but feel enamored by the author and his blatant openness in exposing the most intimate details of his own and the lives of people dear to him. From Fuhrer to Winston Churchill, Chips’ diaries open a can of worms when he unapologetically bears his political stands with impunity. His anti-American sentiments are strong and have no qualms in calling the American civilization a menace to world peace. From harmless dalliances with fledgling actresses to reckless debauchery with umpteen married women of power and position, the diaries abound in promiscuity and are indeed salivating to the masses given that the people in his social orbit are the ones constantly feted by the media and the paparazzi alike. The 30 diaries are tinctured with accounts of homosexual courtship with several known names, including one with a Catholic priest; Chips brazenly describes it with at most honest; his chutzpah is laudable. Chips had no compunction in calling Churchill the most dangerous man in Europe, while also openly admiring Hitler. Overall, Chips Channon’s diaries are a bear it all. The not-so-successful social climber, the candid and extraordinarily honest diarist, the modestly-successful author, the promiscuous Chips Channon died on the 7th of October 1958; he was 61 years old.
