'I want to tell you a story. And it's true. That's what makes it a good fucking story, right, 'cause all the best stories are true.'
They called him 'The Dirty Digger'. In 1969, freshly-landed in London's Fleet St, bursting with ambition and a colonial's desire to shaft the British establishment, he took ownership of a flagging daily newspaper and turned it into a media phenomenon.
His name was Rupert Murdoch. The paper was The Sun. And together with its maverick editor, Larry Lamb, he was on a mission to give the people what they want - which turned out to be screaming headlines, scuttlebutt, and page three girls!
Award-winning writer James Graham (The Angry Brigade) reveals the inner workings of the tabloid press, as the upstart rag and its staff of underdog reporters engage in a circulation war of attrition with the best-selling newspaper in the world, The Mirror.
It's a brutal, belligerent and blisteringly funny expose of how two men changed print media forever.
