The Tenth Child

The Tenth Child  
In The Tenth Child, Harold Bolter narrates a life that has encompassed great joy as well as heartbreak and betrayal. From childhood poverty in the 1930s to being appointed a CBE in 1992, Bolter’s life spans some of the most turbulent years of social and political change. And Bolter was at the forefront of events, covering them first for the Birmingham Post, then moving to the Financial Times. Being a journalist in the 1960s and 70s meant that he interviewed the Beatles (he wasn’t very impressed) and reported on everything from ballet performances by Nureyev and Fonteyn to infamous industrial disputes and political storms.

In 1975 Harold Bolter left the Financial Times to become the public face of British Nuclear Fuels, a role even the most dedicated PR professional might quiver at. From the outset he looked public hostility straight in the eye and took on the role of transforming the nuclear industry’s tarnished image. Tourists flocked to his Sellafield Visitors’ Centre and went home better informed and happier. Bolter rose through the hierarchy of BNFL to become a main board director before being forced to resign after facing false allegations of fraud and a very public humiliation.

Harold Bolter endured his own Kafkaesque nightmare when the Serious Fraud Squad descended on him on the orders of a government minister and here he gives the inside story of how it felt to find himself in the news instead of writing it.
