When Australian publishing baron Rupert Murdoch bought the daily<I> Times</I> of London, he persuaded Evans to become its editor with guarantees of editorial independence. But after a year of broken promises and conflict over the paper&rsquo;s direction, Evans departed amid an international media firestorm.</DIV><DIV>&#160;</DIV><DIV>Evans&rsquo;s story is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at Murdoch&rsquo;s ascension to global media magnate.

Riveting, provocative, and insightful, <I>Good Times, Bad Times</I> is as relevant today as when it was first written.</DIV><BR /> With details on the scandalous deal between Murdoch and Margaret Thatcher, this updated ebook edition includes an extensive new preface by Evans, the <I>New York Times</I>&ndash;bestselling author of <I>Do I Make Myself Clear?</I>, discussing the Rupert Murdoch phone-hacking scandal.<BR /> &#160;</DIV>
