“[An] actually fair and balanced, carefully documented
biography.”—Jacob Weisberg, The New York Times Book Review
“The book excels at compiling data establishing Ailes’s 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 Republic
“A 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 Times
“Sherman is at his best writing with sweep about the history of
cable news and placing Ailes in context.”—Los Angeles Times
“[An] eye-opening biography of the would-be political kingmaker and
Fox News mastermind . . . A well-reported, engaging book. A bonus:
Bill O’Reilly won’t like it, either. Politics and media junkies, on
the other hand, will have a field day.”—Kirkus Reviews
