Australian media tycoon was known for his brash, aggressive style – and as a man who single-handedly revolutionise modern cricket, after being denied the television rights to broadcast Australian cricket. In this volume. published more than a decade after The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer became a No. 1 best-seller in Australia, Paul Barry puts the finishing touches to his portrait of richest and most powerful Australian businessman of the era, revealing more of his private life than was known before and of his health, tax affairs and gambling – and on politician’s willingness to give Packer just what he wanted.
