This explosive firsthand account, written by one of Australia's feistiest and most controversial editors Bruce Guthrie follows the journalist through his 40 years in the news business, including his brutal dismissal from the Herald Sun and the celebrated court case that exposed the inner workings of the world's biggest media company and the treachery of its most senior executives. From Guthrie's battle with tuberculosis to his clash with media magnate Rupert Murdoch, this memoir not only reveals the power plays that helped shape modern media in Australia, but also conveys the inspiring story of one man's victory over formidable foes.

Arvustused

Journalists, media junkies, some of the players and politicians will no doubt sink their teeth into Man Bites Murdoch...an insider's read, sprinkled with tales of bastardry and double-dealing." Malcolm Schmidtke, The Spectator Australia

"Guthrie's two-finger salute to News joins Paul Barry's The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer, as a must-read title on the bizarre, fascinating and 60s throwback worlds that are the boardrooms of Australian media." David Knight, Adelaide Review

"Man Bites Murdoch contains a treasure trove of titbits that will have media watchers feverishly scanning the index when it hits bookshops." Andrew Crook, Crikey
