Paper Tigers
Paper Tigers is a riveting, authoritative and in-depth study of newspaper barons of the world – men and women who wield immense power, and whose ever-changing media empires make compelling case studies of business success and failure. From Rupert Murdoch to Robert Maxwell, Conrad Black to Lord Rothermere, Katharine Graham to Punch Sulzberger, Coleridge interviewed them all. The results confirm his status as a devastatingly astute observer of our times, one with few equals today.

"The best book on Diana." —The New Yorker Was she “the people’s princess,” who electrified the world with her beauty and humanitarian missions? Or was she manipulative and media-savvy and nearly brought down the monarchy? Tina Brown, former Editor-in-Chief of Tatler, England’s glossiest gossip magazine; Vanity Fair; and The New Yorker gives us the answers.
