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... 'Hilarious and harrowing, and hard to put down' Christopher Buckley, author of Thank You for Smoking
'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
