Marista Leishman’s honest study of the life and work of her father, John Reith, the great founder of the modern media age, is destined to become a classic. Reithian standards of broadcasting are still the benchmark for media worldwide. His personal life shows him to be complex: driven to succeed, a womaniser who could not relate to women, and possibly a latent homosexual, at the same time as being guided always by his Christianity.
