About this book
Australia's richest man, Kerry Packer, came to the helm of
Australian Consolidated Press a quarter of a century ago; in recent years his son, James, has begun taking over the reins of the dynasty. But despite the legendary reputation of Kerry Packer and his father Sir Frank, the story of how
Australian Consolidated Press came to be the behemoth it is today has never been told before.
