Named one of the best books of the year by the New York Times,

the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Business Week, and GQ,

THE CHIEF: THE LIFE OF WILLIAM RANDLOPH HEARST is an absorbing and

ingeniously organized biography . . . of the most powerful

publisher America has ever known (New York Times Book Review).

Drawing on papers and interviews that were previously unavailable,

as well as on newly released documentation of interactions with

such figures as Hitler, Mussolini, Churchill, every president from

Grover Cleveland to Franklin Roosevelt, and movie giants Louis B.

Mayer, Jack Warner, and Irving Thalberg, David Nasaw completes the

picture of this colossal American engagingly, lucidly and

fair-mindedly (Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.). Outstandingly researched,

elegantly but not flamboyantly written, and fair in its conclusions

about Hearsts astonishing career (Wall Street Journal), THE CHIEF

must be regarded as the definitive study . . . Its hard to imagine

a more complete rendering of Hearsts life (Business Week).
