War at the Wall Street Journal: Inside the Struggle to Control an American Business Empire by Sarah Ellison

3.0

This book spends way too much time on a bunch of nobodies within the Bancroft family initially. This makes the first quarter of the book quite hard to get into, and, by the time you see how each member reacts against, first the proposal then the vote, you already forgot their backstory and the drama between family members. Sarah also lacks M&A insights/knowledge and so the details of the WSJ journal deal(and those made by Murdoch previously) were lackluster. Not a lot of insight/investigative journalism with regards to the Murdoch side. Lot of public information about WSJ staff and their behaviors after the merger. Read if you want to learn about the Bancroft and the public outcome of the WSJ staff.
