With unflinching authority, Barry uncovers the ruthless ambition, backroom dealings, and sheer force of personality that propelled Packer from the shadow of his formidable father, Sir Frank Packer, to the pinnacle of Australian business and media. The narrative details Packer's audacious takeover of Australian cricket through World Series Cricket, his high-stakes gambling exploits, and his iron grip on the Consolidated Press empire, painting a portrait of a man who bent institutions and governments to his will. Barry's tone is sharp and journalistic, balancing admiration for Packer's undeniable genius with a clear-eyed assessment of his bullying tactics and ethical compromises. The result is an essential and compulsively readable examination of wealth, power, and the outsized personalities that shape a nation's culture and commerce.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810613113051,"sku":"2026600000024-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/4627265b-c1af-4ea3-96f5-151d1d2745ed.png?v=1779805975","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000024-secondhand-the-rise-and-rise-of-kerry-packer-signed","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
