How has Lachlan Murdoch managed to live comparatively below the radar given his immense power and influence as a  media player? And why  is it so important to him that he identifies strongly as an Australian ? Journalist biographer  Paddy Manning answers these and many other questions  about the heir to Rupert Murdoch’s dynasty and the threat posed by his siblings in The Successor, a biography whose title winks knowingly at the TV drama Succession. Providing a balanced portrait based on interviews with more than sixty people close to Lachlan, this is more than a business biography. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
