Summary
The inside story of the newspaper war instigated by the arrival of Conrad Black's National Post, as well as a chronicle of the paper's rise and fall, told by the people who were there. The questionable measures the Post's rivals… took to defend their market share are documented, as is a complete history of the Post's creation. The ambition, hubris, intrigue, and even absurdity of the Post's initial owners and policies took it from the most adventurous media project ever undertaken in Canada to perhaps the industry's most spectacular failure. 2004.
