Roy Thomson Of Fleet Street
By Russell Braddon
Published by Collins: London 1965 1st Edition

" This authoritative biography by Russell Braddon traces the remarkable rise of Roy Thomson, the Canadian entrepreneur who built a global media empire and became one of the most influential figures in 20th-century journalism. From his modest beginnings in Ontario to his dominance of Britain's newspaper industry and acquisition of The Times, Thomson's life is portrayed as a testament to shrewd business instinct, relentless ambition, and pragmatic vision. Braddon captures both the man's ruthless commercial drive and his disarming humility, painting a vivid picture of a self-made millionaire who reshaped modern media.

First published in 1965, this edition provides contemporary insight into the rapid transformation of post-war publishing and broadcasting. Combining biography, business history, and social commentary, Roy Thomson of Fleet Street remains an engaging and perceptive portrait of a man who turned opportunity into empire — an essential read for those interested in media history, journalism, and 20th-century British enterprise.
