Description
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.
