Abstract
On Friday, 13 July 2007, publishing magnate, Lord Black of Crossharbour stood up in a Chicago courthouse, together with three colleagues from Hollinger International Inc (HII), to hear the jurors' verdict in their five-month trial. Convinced of his innocence, Lord Black looked on stony-faced as the verdict was announced: guilty of fraud and of obstructing justice. This case tells the story of Conrad Black's rise to power, wealth, and fame as a media mogul and ultimately his downfall. It gives a detailed account of how Black built the third largest global media empire and the events that lead to his conviction on charges of fraud.
