Breaking News

Sex, Lies & the Murdoch Succession

About this book

Murdoch's empire is declining, none of his children are bothĀ able and willing to take over, and scandal wracks his life—yet he still managesĀ to thrive despite it all

At the age of 82, Rupert Murdoch divorced his third wife andĀ is gearingĀ up for the toughest challenge of his life: to hand his empire on to his children. But is this the end of the Murdoch dynasty? Lachlan doesn't want to succeed him. James is in disgrace. And Elisabeth is not a serious contender. His grip on the group has also been weakened by scandal. His British tabloids have been caught hacking phones and bribing officials on an industrial scale. At leastĀ 20 journalists will soon face trial for hacking and corruption and could be jailed. But Rupert thrives on crisis. He has recently split News Corp in two, doubled his fortune toĀ nine billion, and is bouncing around like a man in his prime. So can he win this one last battle and keep it all in the family?
