MUMBAI: CNN talk show host Piers Morgan is writing a book that he says will give a "warts and all" account of life at the news broadcaster.

The book ?Shooting Straight: Guns, Gays, God, and George Clooney? will be released later this year.

Gallery Books VP, publisher Jennifer Bergstrom said, "Piers Morgan is honest, forthcoming and fearless. I fully expect Shooting Straight to enlighten some readers and enrage others. Either way, it will be a thought-provoking book that I?m thrilled to publish it."

Morgan said, ?There are few jobs more varied, dramatic, or exciting than anchoring a nightly cable news show, so I decided to record it, warts and all, in real time. Readers will go on the same journey I did ? a pulsating, entertaining, terrifying, emotional and occasionally disastrous roller-coaster. This is ?The Newsroom? on steroids.?
