One of the cardinal Murdoch family rules is never speak about the family outside the family. So, when journalist McKay Coppins got in touch with James Murdoch last year, he really wasn’t expecting a reply.

But what he didn’t know was that there was a secret high stakes legal battle going on - and James was ready to talk. This is part two in a two part interview.

Last year, one of the world’s most powerful families converged in a Nevada court room to fight over the future of their empire. Exactly what happened in that court room was a tightly guarded secret.

But then, in a rare interview with The Atlantic staff writer McKay Coppins, James Murdoch decided to give his account of the case and reveal how it tore his family apart.
