The inside story of how these ambitious, often ruthless entrepreneurs came to dominate the economic and political affairs of Atlantic Canada, and how they learned to love the property that perplexed them most: their media monopoly They are Canada's third wealthiest family and one of the largest private landowners in the U.S.A. ... And yet they operate almost entirely in secret. They are the Irvings. And they have always placed a premium on discretion and family unity. They built their empire--which includes Canada's largest refinery, soon to be linked by pipeline to Alberta's oil fields--by remaining private. The Irvings also control all of New Brunswick's English daily newspapers, which often allowed the family's business pursuits to escape journalistic scrutiny. In Irving vs. Irving, veteran journalist Jacques Poitras tells the story of how these ambitious, often ruthless entrepreneurs came to dominate the economic and political affairs of Atlantic Canada, and how they learned to love the property that perplexed them most: their media monopoly.

Review "Deftly recounts the tale of Canada's third-richest family." --The Chronicle-Herald"Since the Irvings ... own most of the province's newspapers, there were always questions about how the family's business was being covered by the press. In Irving vs. Irving ... Poitras attempts to set the record straight." --Maclean's"A thorough ... often amusing look at a province where economy is massively reliant on a single family and where the family, its billions aside, persists in seeing itself as a humble lot trying to earn 'enough for a hamburger now and again.'" --Toronto Star

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. The newspapers would eventually falter in telling that story of family upheaval and business transformation, because they were inextricably part of it. Next to the other Irving operations − pulp mills, the oil refinery, logging operations, trucking, shipbuilding – the papers were tiny. But K.C.’s death, Neil Reynolds’s arrival as editor, and the popularization of the internet would transform them, to the point that they would prove contentious themselves when the empire began to fracture. As rivalries and resentment grew among the next generation of Irvings, one of their own – a great-grandchild of K.C. – would take direct control of the news business for the first time. This in turn would revive the debate about editorial control, even as a rift in the family grew wider. By 2013 it was clear that K.C. had failed, with is will, to impose unity and harmony on his family – that he had failed, as the 1993 headline had put it, to make them “behave themselves.”

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. sensationalism tone By Simon Jacques I have not learnt about any of the BUSINESS & Entrepreneurial aspects in their companies.Too much effort were devoted on sensationalism rather than trying explain the underlying business Dynamics.The big missing point in this book is: it's really decision making within the ECONOMIC Context that is driving the business world and the Irving Companies. K.C Irving took enormous risk to build gas stations across the maritimes in the 1930's. Kenneth Irving took also a big risk with the undertaking of Canaport LNG in 2008. This "No risks no gains" relationship, should be more encrusted to get a broader picture.The book is not bad but let's put this in perspectives.The conclusion is not decisive and Fatalist. (following the general guidance of the book).A better closing could had been : who will emerge as leaders in the next-Irving generation ?The way Irvings are portrayed in Irving v Irving may contrasted with the reality.the fact is: no principals (old or new generations of Irving) were interviewed to at least counter-balance the Author and provide nuances. (it's a major weakness).Now if you are seriously interested by Irvings, the Province of New Brunswick and the Maritimes, my suggestions will be:-Twenty-First Century Irvings-K. C. Irving;: The Art of The IndustrialistSimon Jacques, Lecturer of Finance, Université de Moncton
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Irvings and Their Newspapers...and Not Much Else By Fred Regan Irving vs Irving is competently written but focuses almost entirely on the family's relationship with its various newspapers and the editors and writers and their struggles balancing journalistic independence and due deference to the owners. This is interesting up to a point, but the larger story of how the Irving family built a multibillion forestry and oil business and in the process came to dominate New Brunswick, both financially and politically, is dealt with only secondarily, anecdotally and almost entirely from the vantage point of how its actions were reported and how family members reacted (or didn't). It's a curiously narrow and limited approach that shines as bright a spotlight on several obscure New Brunswick journalists as it does on KC, JK, Arthur and Jim Irving. Apparently, just as a man with a hammer tends to see only nails, a certain kind of newsman sees only news stories and other writers.
