James B. Stewart is a columnist for the New York Times and a
professor at Columbia Journalism School. He is the author of books
including Deep State, Tangled Webs, Heart of a Soldier, Blind Eye,
Blood Sport and Den of Thieves. In 1988, he won a Pulitzer Prize
for his reporting on the stock market crash and insider

Rachel Abrams was a media reporter for the New York Times and is
now a senior producer and reporter for the television series The
New York Times Presents. In 2018, she was part of a team that won
the Pulitzer Prize for public service for reporting that exposed
sexual harassment and misconduct.
Sex and power were the abiding obsessions of the colourful media
mogul Sumner Redstone, whose life and career only became more
bizarre as he aged and family and friends sought to get their hands
on his empire. The saga helped inspire the HBO series Succession;
this deeply reported account shows the truth was, if anything,
stranger.
