Born into a poor Yiddish speaking family in Czechoslovakia, Robert Maxwell survived the war (unlike many of his family) and after arriving in England became a self made media tycoon - a Rupert Murdoch wannabe. He was larger than life - brash, rude, gluttonous, powerful and terrifying, and built an empire through sheer bravado, bluster and fraud.
In 1991 he fell from the back of his boat, the Lady Ghislaine, and died in the Mediterranean, after which it was found he'd embezzled 763 million pounds of pension funds from his staff.
This story of his life and career is entertaining and extraordinary in equal measure, a fascinating insight into someone who dreamed of greatness and fell far short. - Joan- Format: Paperback / softback
