Acclaimed journalist Gabriel Sherman joins Tina Brown for a conversation about the real-life story that inspired Succession, and the saga of the Murdoch family — and Sherman’s new book, Bonfire of the Murdochs: How the Epic Fight to Control the Last Great Media Dynasty Broke a Family.
Before there was Logan Roy, there was Rupert Murdoch. Wielding more power over our culture than any single mogul in modern times, Murdoch’s ruthless deal making and remarkable foresight helped him build a media empire that led to everything from the rise of Margaret Thatcher in the UK to Donald Trump in America. Drawing on unprecedented access to internal family dynamics, Bonfire of the Murdochs is the inside story about the Murdoch family’s rise and the brutal feud between his children over control of the company — a story about a family whose resentments and rivalries play out on a global scale.
Join Sherman and Tina Brown for an insider’s account of the most powerful media family in history — and how that family’s values and internal conflicts have leached into our culture and politics across the world.
