AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Kerry Packer is Australia's richest and most powerful man, with a media empire worth $3000 million. He is also a very private person, Australia's least understood tycoon. This compelling biography reveals the man behind the dynasty. Above all else, it paints a disturbing portrait of power in Australia and how it can be used.' Source: Libraries Australia.
