About this title

Synopsis

William Randolph Hearst (1862-1951) built the world's first media conglomerate and became the inspiration for Orson Welles' epic film, "Citizen Kane". Based on previously unavailable sources, including Hearst's private papers and dealings he had with Hitler, Mussolini and Churchill, this biography gives a full-bodied account of an often contradictory mogul's activities as newspaper publisher, movie producer, politician, husband and lover.
