Praise
"Dial M for Murdoch is a must read for anyone interested in Rupert Murdoch… lively, fast-paced, a tight narrative."
– The Guardian
“This book will tell those already obsessed with the saga a few new things, but for the casual reader it’s a rip-roaring tour through recent British political and journalistic history, and how Rupert Murdoch has frequently sought to influence it.”
– Huffington Post
“Dial M for Murdoch is a compelling tale of Murdoch empire’s scandals….[A] gripping and indispensible first account of the phone-hacking scandal that shut down the world’s biggest selling tabloid, News of the World, and the allegations of computer hacking, police bribery, and corporate cover-up that continue to hound News Corp…..[R]eads something like a cross between The Insider and All the President’s Men…[A] virtual revolution for a whole political and media class who had formerly lived in fear.”
– Peter Jukes, The Daily Beast
"An engrossing and useful read."
– British GQ
“True to its nod to the Alfred Hitchcock thriller, the book is a suspenseful tale of the ongoing phone hacking scandal in Britain from one of its key players…. Dial M For Murdoch has the urgency of a police blotter and is useful, both for those tracking the story daily or for readers interested in learning more.” –Reuters
“Provides a sense of how intrusive and unnerving Elveden’s in-house investigation must now be.” –Steve Coll, NewYorker.com
“Required reading for news junkies and those interested in understanding Murdoch’s seemingly ironclad grip on the news.” –Kirkus Reviews
“A timely, informative, infuriating insider account of the News International phone-hacking scandal… Very powerfully written… Here, at last, is the scorecard you’ve been looking for.” –BoingBoing.com
