The tycoons at the heads of the modern and historic media empires the world over are a story in themselves. This is that story.

From William Randolph Hearst to Elon Musk, this book demonstrates the power these people wield. For those who tried to get in their way it was never, or will never be, easy.

The Murdoch family takes up a lot of the pages with good reason. The havoc they are causing the world continues as the family navigates legal battles and infighting over ownership, whilst also trying to squeeze every last drop from the press titles it still owns.

I wouldn’t normally go for a book like this but it was great. Well written and interesting from start to finish. Highly recommend.
