From the Trade Paperback edition.**ReviewA wonderful piece of journalism that tries to draw links between the Arab Spring, the Syriza movement in Greece, the Podemos movement in Spain, Occupy. Paul Greengrass, director of *Jason Bourne* The mix of wide-ranging reportage and historical analysis is lively and insightful. Claire Allfree, *Metro* The writing of this reportage is compact, urgent, present-tense, declarative, and addictive. Andy Beckett, *Guardian* Mason has had a ringside seat to some of the biggest news events of 2011. He has listened to the protestors in Tahrir Square. He followed Greek workers marching through Athens. He has travelled through America, watched first hand the collapse of blue-collar employment and the death of the dream of home ownership. *Guardian* Hes lively, funny and engaging, trading in the energy derived from the thrill and significance of what hes witnessing. Phil Harrison, *Time Out* A cogent, accessible analysis of the ongoing forces of global upheaval. *Kirkus Reviews* This book not only reads as an in-depth consideration of global politics today, but offers a personal memoir from a man who has had a ringside seat. We are blessed that the BBC, for all the criticisms, still employs journalists whose logic and unfailing inquisitiveness brings us such analysis. Dan Carrier, *Camden New Journal* You will learn something new and challenging on every page of this book. Kenny Farquharson, *Scotland on Sunday* Mason has emerged as possibly the most engaged mainstream journalist of our age. George Eaton, *New Statesman* Concise global analysis with sympathetic news from the frontline, revealing angry and scared people staring into a bleak future amid the wreckage of shattered certainties. Ian Birrell, *Observer* Superb overview of the global protest movements of 2011. *New Internationalist* Testament to his instincts as a veteran journalist, Mason managed to be everywhere right as things were kicking offtraversing the globe from the Middle East to Europe to America to Asia. [T]he book combines a feel for the breathlessness of events as they unfold with a historians eye for patterns and precedents ... Masons prose beautifully captures the almost surreal mood that often accompanies mass shifts in consciousness. Leela Yellesetty, *Socialist Worker* An accessible insight into how the world is swiftly changing and what the implications are for women, politicians and business. *Daily Mail* These reports are good journalism. One feels as if they are present at the rallies, occupations and riots that Mason describes. The anecdotal tales he provides should remind anyone who participated in any kind of popular resistance in the past decades of the energy and hope one finds and feels at such events. These are the stuff that makes one join such movements. Worthwhile and provocative. Ron Jacobs, *Counterpunch* Paul Masons enthusiasm and curiosity are infectious. Adapting a rich vein of leftwing revolutionary thought for the wired generation, Mason argues passionately that the old rules have been broken. John Kampfner, *The Observer*About the Author Paul Mason is the economics editor of the BBCs flagship current affairs program Newsnight and appears frequently on BBC World News America. He has covered globalization and social justice stories from locations aroundthe world, including Latin America, Africa and China.

Author: Gabriel Sherman File Type: epub **NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR A deeply reported journey inside the secretive world of Fox News and the life of its combative, visionary founder.When Rupert Murdoch enlisted Roger Ailes to launch a cable news network in 1996, American politics and media changed forever. Now, with a remarkable level of detail and insight, New York magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman brings Ailess unique genius to life, along with the outsize personalitiesBill OReilly, Sean Hannity, Megyn Kelly, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, and otherswho have helped Fox News play a defining role in the great social and political controversies of the past two decades. 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 unrivaled power to sway the national agenda. Even more, he has become the indispensable figure in conservative America and 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 our political landscape? In revelatory detail, Sherman chronicles the rise of Ailes, a sickly kid from an Ohio factory town who, through sheer willpower, the flair of a showman, fierce corporate politicking, and a profound understanding of the priorities of middle America, built the most influential television news empire of our time.Drawing on hundreds of interviews with Fox News insiders past and present, Sherman documents Ailess tactical acuity as he battles the press, business rivals, and countless real and perceived enemies inside and outside Fox. Sherman takes us inside the morning meetings in which Ailes and other high-level executives strategize Foxs presentation of the news to advance Ailess political agenda provides behind-the-scenes details of Ailess crucial role as finder and shaper of talent, including his sometimes rocky relationships with Fox News stars such as OReilly and Hannity and probes Ailess fraught partnership with his equally brash and mercurial boss, Rupert Murdoch.Roger Ailess life is a story worthy of Citizen Kane. The Loudest Voice in the Room is an extraordinary feat of reportage with a compelling human drama at its heart. Praise for *The Loudest Voice in the Room[An] actually fair and balanced, carefully documented biography.*Jacob Weisberg, The New York Times Book ReviewThe book excels at compiling data establishing Ailess control freakishness and authoritarian nature. . . . A veteran of the New York media-reporting scene, Sherman nails the Fox News palace intrigue and brings to light interactions that Ailes clearly never wanted to go public.Erik Wemple, The Washington Post[An] enormously entertaining new biography.*The New RepublicA thoroughly reported look behind that curtain . . . Part of the reason [Ailes] and his allies have campaigned against the book is not because it is false, but because it tells a true story.David Carr, The New York TimesSherman is at his best writing with sweep about the history of cable news and placing Ailes in context.*Los Angeles Times**
