A monumental work of nonfiction that gives a first-row seat to the
epic power struggle between politics, money, media, and tech -- for
fans of Maggie Haberman's Confidence Man and Jane Mayer's Dark
Money. Marty Baron took charge of The Washington Post newsroom in
2013, after nearly a dozen years leading The Boston Globe. Just
seven months into his new job, Baron received explosive news: Jeff
Bezos, the founder of Amazon, would buy the Post, marking a sudden
end to control by the venerated family that had presided over the
paper for 80 years. Just over two years later, Donald Trump won the
presidency. Now, the capital's newspaper, owned by one of the
world's richest men, was tasked with reporting on a president who
had campaigned against the press as the "lowest form of humanity."
Pressures on Baron and his colleagues were immense and unrelenting,
having to meet the demands of their new owner while contending with
a president who waged a war of unprecedented vitriol and vengeance
against the media. In the face of Trump's unceasing attacks, Baron
steadfastly managed the Post's newsroom. Their groundbreaking and
award-winning coverage included stories about Trump's purported
charitable giving, misconduct by the Secret Service, and Roy
Moore's troubling sexual history. At the same time, Baron managed a
restive staff during a period of rapidly changing societal dynamics
around gender and race. In Collision of Power, Baron recounts this
with the tenacity of a reporter and the sure hand of an experienced
editor. The result is elegant and revelatory--an urgent exploration
of the nature of power in the 21st century.
