William Randolph Hearst (1862-1951) built the world's first media conglomerate and became the inspiration for Orson Welles' epic film, Citizen Kane . Based on previously unavailable sources, including Hearst's private papers and dealings he had with Hitler, Mussolini and Churchill, this biography gives a full-bodied account of an often contradictory mogul's activities as newspaper publisher, movie producer, politician, husband and lover.
