THE UNCROWNED KING: THE SENSATIONAL RISE OF WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST Written by Kenneth Whyte Published by Random House Canada 
IN MASTERFUL PROSE, Kenneth Whyte recounts the struggle between America’s two greatest newspaper publishers, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Based on prodigious research and a deep understanding of late-nineteenth-century newspaper empires, he reveals how these megalomaniac millionaires reshaped the publishing world, capturing the conflict and struggle as they gambled with their fortunes to win readers and drive their enemies into bankruptcy. The Uncrowned King is a page-turner; readers will never look the same way at their daily newspapers. BUY THIS BOOK |
