This is a multi-faceted biography of the most innovative figure of the information age, Rupert Murdoch, who had established the most far-reaching communications empire in existence when this book was first published in 1989. Through interviews with numerous sources both inside and outside the Murdoch organization, including a rare interview with Murdoch himself, Jerome Tuccille reveals little-known facts about the man behind the public figure. What emerges from Rupert Murdoch is a complete and balanced picture of the man and his achievements - at once a fascinating three-dimensional portrait of the individual and a detailed account of his amazing financial triumphs.
