    Summary: 
    "At first, it seemed like a small story. The royal editor of the News of the World was caught listening to the voicemail messages of staff at Buckingham Palace. He and a private investigator were jailed, and the case was closed. But Nick Davies, special correspondent for The Guardian, knew that it didn't add up. He began to investigate, and ended up exposing a world of crime and cover-up, of fear and favor -- the long shadow of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. How Davies and a small group of lawyers and politicians took on one of the most powerful men in the world -- and beat him. It exposes the inner workings of the ruthless machine that was the News of the World, and of the private investigators who hacked phones, listened to live calls, sent Trojan horse emails, bribed the police, and committed burglaries to dig up tabloid scoops. Above all, it is a study of the private lives of the power elite. The social network that gave Murdoch privileged access to government, and allowed him and his lieutenants to intimidate anyone who stood up to them. Covering events from February 2008 to July 2011, this is the definitive record of one of the major scandals of our time, written by the journalist who was there every step of the way"--Provided by publisher.
