She shows Murdoch, finally, for who he's: maneuvering, firing, and undoing everything that the Bancrofts acquired protected.Here is a superlative account of an package with reverberations beyond the news, informed with the storytelling savvy that changes big reviews into amazing chronicles of American life and ability.
