This book was written very well. It tells the story of Rupert Murdoch's take over of the Wall Street Journal. The book is written as if it were a novel, and even though the ended (ie the fate of the Wall Street Journal) is known by all who pick it up, the book still holds your attention with just how difficult and bloody the whole ordeal is going to be. Sarah Ellison doesn't pull any punches, and shows the people in the story not in a great light or a horrible light, but in the blinding noon light of day. While I don't know these people personally, I have the feeling that I know who they really are and why they made the choices that they did. My opinion of Rupert Murdoch remains unchanged. As a businessperson he is one of a kind, as a right wing owner of the number one newspaper in nearly every major first world country, he scares the hell out of me. If the world of journalism interests you and you would like to see some of Murdoch (and other important journalstic people) in the light of this huge event, please pick up this book.
