I only read about half of this book before the library demanded it back due to being reserved by another patron. I probably could have finished it on time but it was not managing to keep me interested. The subject material is so interesting, yet the book was very dry, and the shifting back and forth in time line didn't work for me at all. I would rather have read more about Murdoch himself and less about the former owners of Dow Jones.

What am amazing portrayal of Murdoch's take over of the Dow Jones. Wolff did not waste the gift he was given to be able to interview Murdoch and his associates directly. AMAZING read!

A little long, but indepth look at Rupert Murdoch. I was surprised to hear that he sided with Barack Obama for president in 2008 because "John McCain is too old" (Is that the pot calling the kettle?)
