FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SHOCKING NEW BOOK SHAKING US POLITICS: FIRE AND FURY, INSIDE THE TRUMP WHITEHOUSE A riveting, barnstorming, thrilling ride through the loud, lively and all-embracing world of the modern media conglomerates – its key deals, dealmakers, divas and delusions.The global media industry has never been more powerful. And there is no more astute, forthright and entertaining chronicler of this roller-coaster world than award-winning writer Michael Wolff. In ‘Autumn of the Moguls’, a funny, frank, and incendiary account that looks hard at the great characters of this media age – from homes and gardens empress Martha Stewart to Disney czar Michael Eisner – he has written the guide we all need to the media, a world that is often more entertaining than what it produces.
This work investigates the volatile intersection of ego, corporate strategy, and cultural influence within the late 20th-century media landscape. Michael Wolff, a veteran journalist known for his proximity to power, utilizes his access to industry titans to dissect the collapse of traditional media dominance. He argues that the industry's decline was driven less by market forces than by the personal delusions and erratic decision-making of the individuals at the helm.
