Book Synopsis I Was Rupert Murdoch's Figleaf by : John Bull
Download or read book I Was Rupert Murdoch's Figleaf written by John Bull and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2015-04-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pale ray of sunlight seeps through a dusty stained glass window to light a shabby congregation - all kneeling, eyes closed in devout prayer: “Thank you, Lord. Thank you for saving us.” The scene is a Fleet Street pub at lunchtime - and, as yet, hardly a drop's been touched. I stand up, cross myself, dust the knees of my corduroy trousers and reach to take a grateful sip of my pint of London Pride. All around me my fellow workers are rising from their knees: men - and a few women - all known to the world as penny liars, scribbling scum, foot-in-the-door merchants, callous bastards, and reptiles. The massed hacks of the News of the World. We are celebrating a crucial moment. Just ended is a long, bitter financial war. It has been the saving of the world's best-selling Sunday paper from the grasping hands of the monster - Robert Maxwell. And our unlikely saviour? A newcomer to the Fleet Street jungle, a raw young hayseed from the Australian outback - Rupert Murdoch. In this lively memoir, John Bull lifts the lid on what it was really like to work on the ‘News of the Screws’ in its heyday, producing what the staid British Establishment called a ‘torrent of filth’ every Sunday - and selling four million copies a week.

Naismith knew Von Wester-Wald was the eyes and ears of the Kaiser, and was planning to send bogus information to Germany to make Germany ease up in the arms race . Could he fool Von Wester-Wald into believing it was genuine? Rupert wanted to beat Naismith at his own game and was relishing the chase.

Book excerpt: In this second Tuk Kae novel the feisty Thai heroine accompanies her friend Helen Childs on a search for Japanese looted gold from the second world war. Rumours of huge hoards of gold left by the retreating Imperial Army have circulated for years but no real evidence of hidden treasure has ever been found. Then an old Mon man from the border province of Kanchanaburi appears at Helen’s office with an intriguing story and some persuasive gold artefacts. Helen sets out to investigate the old man’s story and asks Tuk Kae to accompany her. At first, they have little to go on and then a map is discovered but its secrets cannot be read as it appears to be written in a strange code. A chance encounter provides the key and Tuk Kae, Helen and her team close in on the location where they hope to find the treasure. Along the way they encounter some suspicious Japanese who are also treasure hunting but by chance they discover that this small Thai lady with the lizard tattoo might be worth more than any hidden gold.
