Before becoming a novelist, Robert Harris was a journalist and political commentator. His non-fiction books from the 1980s and 1990s reflect that career, covering British politics, media, and one of the biggest hoaxes of the twentieth century.
“Gotcha!” (1983) examines government-media relations during the Falklands War, while “Selling Hitler” (1996) tells the story of the forged Hitler diaries scandal. These books show the investigative instincts that Harris later brought to his fiction.
