Twenty-five years later, that gamble would tear apart one of the world’s most powerful families and trigger a multi-billion dollar reckoning in a succession battle featuring betrayals, lawsuits, and revenge plots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eBonfire of the Murdochs\u003c\/i\u003e, bestselling author Gabriel Sherman tells the inside story of this epic family war, one whose seeds were planted a half-century ago in Australia when the complicated patriarch left his homeland to conquer the world and please the ghost of his judgmental father. That quest culminated in a media empire that controlled Fox News, \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, and tabloids on three continents, which wielded more political and cultural power than any single company in modern times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Rupert’s plan to rip up the secret trust controlling his empire and anoint his conservative firstborn son Lachlan as successor set him on a collision course with his three more liberal children. What price would Rupert pay to secure his legacy? For the aging patriarch, this would be his final and most personal deal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on interviews with more than 150 sources, \u003ci\u003eBonfire of the Murdochs\u003c\/i\u003e is a richly textured narrative where each child plays their predestined role in a blood feud that explodes in a courtroom showdown.
