All the Worst Humans: Shady Confessions of a PR Fixer

13.18

After nearly two decades in the Washington PR business, Elwood wants to come clean, by exposing the dark underbelly of the very industry that’s made him so successful. The first step is revealing exactly what he’s been up to for the past 20 years – and it isn’t pretty. Elwood has worked for a murderer’s row of clients, including Gaddafi, Assad, and the government of Qatar – namely, the bad guys. In this book, Elwood unveils how the PR business works, and how the truth gets made, spun, and sold to the public – not shying away from the gritty details of his unlikely career. This is a piercing look into the corridors of money, power, politics, and control, all told in Elwood’s disarmingly funny and entertaining voice.

After nearly two decades in the PR business, Phil Elwood wants to come clean...

In All the Worst Humans, Phil Elwood reveals the secrets and slippery tricks of the $129 billion industry that controls what we see and hear in the media. Masterfully crafting chaos for politicians, despots and spies, he helps Qatar win the World Cup bid, lands Asma al-Assad a Vogue feature the week the Arab Spring breaks out, and even ends up on a four-day Las Vegas bender with a dictator's son.

But, as the job takes its toll and Phil begins to question what exactly he has gotten himself into, a shocking wake-up call from the FBI might just cost him his freedom, and his life...

'Might be a career-destroying book... highly enjoyable' Daily Telegraph
'A spin doctor to the rich and corrupt spills his secrets... starts with the crack of a Jack Reacher thriller' The New York Times
