"Lucid, forcefulA roaring great read. I am most impressed by the way he grasps the central truth of the incapacity of our institutions to cope with Murdoch. The Fall of the House of Murdoch is an impressive accomplishment for its narrative energy, wit and intellectual range." Sir Harold Evans, former editor of the Sunday Times "Political thrillers don't come much better than this' Chris Bryant MP "An impressive treatise on how media, money and power in the past thirty years became so locked into mutually supporting agendas that they failed to interrogate each other." Joy Lo Dico, London Evening Standard
