When Rupert Murdoch enlisted Roger Ailes to launch a cable news network in 1996, American politics & media changed forever. From the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to the Bush-Gore recount, from the war in Iraq to the Tea Party attack on the Obama presidency, Roger Ailes has developed an unrivalled power to sway the national agenda. Even more, he has become the indispensable figure in conservative America & the man any Republican politician with presidential aspirations must court. How did this man, whose life story has until now been shrouded in myth, become the master strategist of the US’s political landscape? Gabriel Sherman brings Ailes’ unique genius to life, along with the outsize personalities—Bill O’Reilly, Sean Hannity, Megyn Kelly, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee & others—who have helped Fox News play a defining role in the great social and political controversies of the past two decades.
