The work focuses on the life, character, and impact of Lord Northcliffe, a dominant figure in British journalism. Through the lens of Viollis’s journalistic skill, the book offers insight into both Northcliffe’s personal trajectory and his broad influence on British public opinion and policy, especially during times of national crisis. The opening of this biography introduces Lord Northcliffe through anecdotes and character sketches that establish him as a formidable presence in British society—described as both a force of nature and of science. It traces his family background, early passion for journalism, and rapid ascent in the newspaper world, including revolutionary innovations like the launch of the Daily Mail. Viollis details Northcliffe’s work ethic, personal habits, and managerial style, his pivotal role in alerting Britain to the German threat before World War I, and his enduring rivalry with political adversaries. These beginning chapters paint Northcliffe as not just a media mogul, but also as an indefatigable patriot and visionary, actively shaping the public discourse and national preparedness leading up to and during the war.
