The Fourth Estate
Jeffrey Archer
Lubji Hoch breaks the bonds of his humble beginnings as the son of an
illiterate Jewish peasant, escapes the Nazis, changes his name to Richard
Armstrong, and after the war finds himself in Berlin where he heads up a
floundering newspaper. On the other side of the world in Australia, Keith
Townsend, son of a millionaire newspaper owner, is being groomed to
follow in his father's footsteps. After his father's death, he takes over
the business and becomes the leading newspaper publisher in Australia.
These two men prepare to risk everything to beat each other and control
the biggest media empire in the world.
