Abstract

Too much has been written about Rupert Murdoch. David McNight’s book stands out from the rest in two ways. First, with a few exceptions (the financial structure of the Murdoch empire, the battle to take over The Wall Street Journal, the Leveson Inquiry), it offers coverage of Murdoch’s career as a media proprietor which is more comprehensive than that offered by most of its competitors. And second, as its subtitle suggests, it focuses on Murdoch’s political life.
