With a remarkable level of detail and insight, \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e magazine reporter Gabriel Sherman puts Ailes's unique genius on display, along with the outsize personalities--Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Megyn Kelly, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Glenn Beck, Mike Huckabee, Gretchen Carlson, Bill Shine, and others--who have helped Fox News play a defining role in the great social and political controversies of the past two decades. From the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to the Bush-Gore recount, from the war in Iraq to the Tea Party attack on the Obama presidency, Roger Ailes developed an unrivaled power to sway the national agenda. Even more, he became the indispensable figure in conservative America and the man any Republican politician with presidential aspirations had to court. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e How did this man become the master strategist of our political landscape? In revelatory detail, Sherman chronicles the rise of Ailes, a frail kid from an Ohio factory town who, through sheer willpower, the flair of a showman, fierce corporate politicking, and a profound understanding of the priorities of middle America, built the most influential television news empire of our time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on hundreds of interviews with Fox News insiders past and present, Sherman documents Ailes's tactical acuity as he battled the press, business rivals, and countless real and perceived enemies inside and outside Fox. Sherman takes us inside the morning meetings in which Ailes and other high-level executives strategized Fox's presentation of the news to advance Ailes's political agenda; provides behind-the-scenes details of Ailes's crucial role as finder and shaper of talent, including his sometimes rocky relationships with Fox News stars such as O'Reilly, Hannity, and Carlson; and probes Ailes's fraught partnership with his equally brash and mercurial boss, Rupert Murdoch. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Roger Ailes's life is a story worthy of \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e. Featuring an afterword about Ailes's epic downfall during the extraordinary 2016 election, \u003ci\u003eThe Loudest Voice in the Room\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinary feat of reportage with a compelling human drama at its heart.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabriel Sherman \u003c\/b\u003eis a special correspondent for \u003ci\u003eVanity Fair.\u003c\/i\u003e Most recently, Sherman served as national affairs editor at \u003ci\u003eNew York\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, and he is a regular contributor to NBC News and MSNBC.
