Download Hack Attack: The Inside Story of How the Truth Caught Up with Rupert Murdoch AudioBook Free
At first it seemed like a small tale. The royal editor of the Information of the World was found listening to the voicemail messages of personnel at Buckingham Palace. He and an exclusive investigator were jailed, and the truth was closed. But Nick Davies, special correspondent for the Guardian, understood it didn't accumulate. He began to investigate and ended up exposing an environment of offense and cover-up, of dread and favor--the long shadow of Rupert Murdoch's multimedia empire. Hack Strike is the mesmerizing tale of how Davies and a little group of attorneys and politicians got on one of the most powerful men on the globe and emerged victorious. It exposes the inner workings of the ruthless machine that was the Information of the World and of the private researchers who hacked cell phones, listened to live calls, directed Trojan horse emails, bribed the police, and determined burglaries to dig up tabloid scoops. Above all it is a study of the private lives of the energy top notch. It paints an intimate portrait of the social network that provided Murdoch privileged access to government and allowed him and his lieutenants to intimidate anyone who stood up to them. Spanning the span of the inspection from Davies' contact with his first source in early 2008 to the resolution of the unlawful trial in June 2014, this is the definitive record of one of the major scandals of our time, written by a journalist who was simply there every step of the way.
