Praise for Young Rupert: ""From schoolboy socialist to boy publisher to mogul on the make: Young Rupert offers a revelatory glimpse of Murdoch becoming Murdoch."" --Jeff Sparrow, author of No Way But This ""Young Rupert is a vivid, revelatory portrait of a young man in a hurry. Deeply researched and sharply written, Marsh summons a vanished era to life and chronicles the intricate maneuvers and shifting character of a man whose whims and grudges have dominated, for better and worse, the media landscape for seventy years. This is an engrossing and insightful study of raw power, shameless politics, and the powers of the press."" --Patrick Mullins, author of Tiberius with a Telephone ""A fascinating account of the early days of one of the most notoriously influential men Australia has produced. Marsh skilfully brings forgotten episodes of this country's history to life, and reminds us just how important, cutthroat, and thrilling the news business can be."" --Sean Kelly, author of The Game ""[A] perceptive account of the first 30 years of media mogul Rupert Murdoch's life ... Thoroughly reported and novelistic in detail ... this provides keen insight into the business magnate's formative years."" --Publishers Weekly ""Journalist Marsh presents meticulous reporting on the tangled fortunes of the Murdoch news business ... An authoritative ... history of the early Murdoch media empire."" --Library Journal
