Roger Ailes: Off Camera

Roger Ailes is the quintessential man behind the curtain. As a political consultant, he helped put Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H. W. Bush in the White House. As the creator of Fox News, he has revolutionized American media. Even President Obama has called him 'the most powerful man in America.''

Now Zev Chafets, author of Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One, offers a rich biography of the man who (with the backing of Rupert Murdoch) has given conservatives a game of their own, infuriated the establishment, changed the way millions understand the world, and had a rollicking good time doing it.

Chafets draws on unprecedented access to Ailes and Fox News to offer a portrait of arguably the most influential, and controversial, media mogul alive.
