Jerome Tuccille

Jerome Tuccille is the award-winning, best-selling author of more than 25 books covering a wide range of topics. King of Media (originally published with a different title) tells the story of media mogul Barry Diller and his rule over one of the largest entertainment and information kingdoms in the world. This was followed in September 2009 by the award-winning Gallo Be Thy Name, a biography of the Gallo wine empire and its roots in Prohibition. The author's most recent book, Hemingway and Gellhorn, is a biography of Hemingway and his third wife, Martha Gellhorn. It describes their meeting in Key West, their life in Cuba, their espionage and war correspondent activities during the Spanish Civil War and World War II, and their tumultuous marriage in a way that has never been written about before. Tuccille's other biographies include Alan Shrugged, an in-depth look at Alan Greenspan; Rupert Murdoch; Trump; and Kingdom: the Story of the Hunts of Texas. His true crime memoir, Gallery of Fools, was optioned for a feature film, and a revised and updated edition was published in December 2010. Tuccille has also written or co-authored several novels, among them The Werewolf of Wall Street and The Mission.
