Publisher Description
From "one of the top ten storytellers in the world" (Los Angeles Times), Jeffrey Archer's The Fourth Estate sees two power-hungry men prepared to risk everything in a battle to control the largest newspaper empire in the world.
Richard Armstrong narrowly escaped Hitler's atrocities in Eastern Europe on his courage and his wits—skills that served him well in peacetime. Having turned a struggling Berlin newspaper into a success story seemingly overnight, Armstrong made a name for himself—and more than a few enemies along the way…
Meanwhile, young Keith Townsend enters the international arena, armed with a world-class education and a sense of entitlement to match. Charged with growing his father's newspaper business into a global media force, he and Armstrong are bound to become sworn rivals—until they arrive at the edge of collapse and will do whatever it takes to stay alive in the game…or die trying.

The Fourth Estate
This is a great book BUT iBooks is presenting it as if it is a brand new title (2013). It is NOT. The Fourth Estate was first published in hard copy by Jeffrey Archer in 1996. I notice that iBooks does this a lot in the "Details" tab---publishes old titles (this one is 17 years old) electronically but makes them sound like they are brand new. It's a bit misleading. Why not disclose the original date it was published?
Amazing! Book!
Such a great book, don't mind the haters that only like "new" books. Masterful Author, tremendous character building, and a wonderful story!
The Fourth Estate
What's going on here?!? . This is an old book with a new cover. I was excited Archer had released a new book. talk about misleading your customers....this takes the cake. IBooks don't trick us to make a profit....shame on you!
