The Rise And Rise Of Kerry Packer: Uncut

More than a decade after The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer became Australia’s number-one best-selling biography, Paul Barry has put the finishing touches to his fascinating portrait of Australia’s richest and most powerful businessman.

Using new research and material that could not be published in 1993, Barry has rewritten and updated the last eight chapters of The Rise and Rise of Kerry Packer and added one more.

For the first time, Barry reveals some of the best kept secrets of Packer’s private life: his mistresses, the high-class hookers, his madam and the hushed-up scandal of her tragic suicide.

There is more on Packer’s declining health, his tax affairs and gambling and on politicians’ readiness to give him what he wanted. This is the Packer story as you’ve never read it before.
