Six years ago, I began work on an unauthorized biography of Conrad Black. I didn't know I was destined to become a rodeo star. Writing
Robber Baron in English (for ECW Press of Toronto) and
Le baron Black in French (for Editions de l'Homme of Montreal) – both of which are coming out this fall – has turned me into something of a bronco rider.
Of course, at the end of 2001, Black was on top of the world.
