NULL-The Fall The End of the Murdoch Empire

Five days before The Fall was published, Rupert Murdoch announced his resignation as Chair of News Corp and handed power to his eldest son Lachlan. Reading Michael Wolff's astonishingly frank and revelatory book - in the scandalous spirit of his trilogy on Donald Trump as well as an instant New York Times bestseller - you can see why he had to go. Here is Murdoch, the frail ninety-two-year-old billionaire - concerned about his legacy, but more concerned about profits. Here are his contentious children, including Lachlan, fighting each other to take over the company. As the fallout from the 2020 US election pummels the reputation of his right-wing network Fox News, the battling Murdoch heirs position themselves for the final act of this riveting drama.
