Murdoch by William Shawcross
Rupert Murdoch invented the modern global information empire. His relentless determination and daring and his repeated willingness to bet the balance sheet in order to acquire more newspapers, television stations, satellite networks, cable systems and publishing houses have been amply rewarded: Murdoch's information empire now reaches two thirds of the world's population, making him one of the most powerful men on earth. In this revised edition of his classic 1993 biography, William Shawcross updates the story of Murdoch's battles to extend his electronic footprint around the globe.William Shawcross is a successful author of many novels, including Sideshow: Kissinger, Nixon, and the Destruction of Cambodia; The Quality of Mercy: Cambodia, Holocaust, and Modern Conscience; Rescue Us from Evil: Warlords, Peacekeepers, and an Endless Conflict; Allies, and The Queen Mother. He is the chairman of Article 19, a London-based charity and pressure organisation that protects Article 19 of the Declaration of Human Rights, as well as a board member of the International Crisis Committee and a member of the High Commissioner for Refugees' Informal Advisory Group from 1995 to 2000.
