內容簡介
圖片The world's most powerful newspaper barons - which of them will triumph? At first glance, Richard Armstrong and Keith Townsend seemed to have little in common. One was the son of an illiterate peasant, who emerged from the most backward corner of a Europe ravaged by a bitter war. The other was raised in a mansion on the far side of the world while the war was just another piece of news. One was a hustler, a thief, ready to change even his identity, if it would gain him a momentary advantage. The other was the scion of a well-known family, groomed for a public role, a rebel who didn't care if anyone approved of what he got up to. One craved wealth, recognition, status. The other quickly discovered that real power comes from anonymity. But they did have one thing in common. Both of them were gamblers. Both were prepared to risk everything in their battle to control the biggest newspaper empire in the world.
中文簡介
世界上最強大的報紙——他們中的哪一個貴族會成功?乍看之下,理察·阿姆斯特朗和基思·湯森似乎幾乎沒有什麼共同之處。一是文盲農民的兒子,那些誕生於角落最落後歐洲遭受了慘烈的戰爭了。另一個是在大廈的另一邊的世界而戰爭只是一塊訊息。一個是一個籃板,一個小偷,準備好改變甚至他的身份,如果它會爭取他一時的優勢。另一個是一個著名的家庭接穗,培訓,公眾的角色,一個叛逆者不在乎如果有人贊成他起來。一個夢寐以求的財富、名譽、地位。另一個很快發現真正的力量來自匿名性。他們卻有一個共同點。兩者的賭客。兩人都準備冒一切的戰鬥來控制帝國最大的報紙在世界上的更大。
