Product Information
'Why did the Maxwells get off? The answers are in Tom Bower's book. His relentless research has produced something more than an expose of a single rogue' Spectator The gripping expose of a tycoon's greed and his shattering self-destruction. Robert Maxwell was one of Britain's most flamboyant, complex and - seemingly - richest business titans. In this dramatic narrative investigative author Tom Bower, whose bestselling biography Maxwell: The Outsider exposed Maxwell's crimes during his life, reveals how his secrets caught up with him - from the mammoth scale of his hidden fraud, to his mysterious death off the coast of the Canary Islands, to the trials of his children as their empire collapsed. Told with explosive, exclusive detail, this is the riveting story of a generation-defining web of corruption. 'A story which has everything: greed, intrigue, fraud, sex, spies, famous names and a mysterious and violent death' Observer 'A devastating indictment not only of one man but of human fallibility and the City of London' Sunday Times 'This book is difficult even to review without running into problems of defamation. Bower is quite fearless ... Excellent' Daily TelegraphProduct Identifiers
