Here she expands that story, using her knowledge of the paper and its people to go deep inside the landmark transaction, as no outsider has or can, and also far beyond it, into the rocky transition when Murdoch’s crew tussled with old \u003ci\u003eJournal\u003c\/i\u003e hands and geared up for battle with the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. With access to all the players, Ellison moves from newsrooms to estates and shows Murdoch, finally, for who he is—maneuvering, firing, undoing all that the Bancrofts had protected.
