In 1985 the Canadian entrepreneur and financier, Conrad Black, gained control of "The Daily Telegraph". But it was the strange, shy Berrys, the family who rose from humble oigins in Wales to become lords and millionaires, that bought the ailing paper in 1928 and transformed it into one of Britain's leading newspapers. This book provides a history of the newspaper and its development as a reflection of the Conservative tradition, as well as an account of the achievements and failures experienced by those who controlled the fortunes of the newspaper and the Berry family.
