THE FOURTH ESTATE

Description

The Fourth Estate is a gripping saga of power, ambition, and rivalry between two media moguls determined to dominate the world of newspaper publishing. Based loosely on real-life figures like Rupert Murdoch and Robert Maxwell, Jeffrey Archer’s novel follows Richard Armstrong and Keith Townsend—two men from vastly different backgrounds who rise to the pinnacle of global journalism through ruthless ambition and relentless drive.

From post-war Europe to the high-stakes world of international media, The Fourth Estate explores how far men will go to control the truth—and the price they pay for power. Archer weaves a tale of corporate battles, personal betrayals, and ethical dilemmas in a fast-paced, dramatic style that keeps readers turning pages to the very end.
