Features: "The Media Mogul – The Axel Springer Story" tells the life of Springer. All clichés about him are inappropriate; the biography of the German media giant is not just a story filled with success and power, dreams and delusions, love and hate, but also reflects the political history of the federal government after the liberation from fascist dictatorship and during the Cold War, a history of the sins of the father and the rebellion of the children. Springer hated Nazis. To him, compensation for the Jews was as important as the reunification of the two German states. He was a staunch believer who experienced religious hallucinations and awakenings, but unfortunately did not live to see the fall of the Berlin Wall—the end of German division. This book tells the story of a king who believed in astrology and considered himself chosen by God, and after his death, his empire also fell.
