From Library Journal
Publishing mogul Robert Maxwell drowned in November 1991. By December this book was being readied for publication. Originally published in Britain in 1988 amidst much legal ballyhoo, it never made it to the States--Maxwell saw to that. It is newly updated, exhaustively researched, and, at times, tediously detailed, especially concerning Maxwell's fi nancial dealings; it is also an even-handed account of a powerful and destructive egomaniac. Bower writes, "This is a story about a man who used and abused people, who aroused fervent loyalty, fear and disdain among otherwise rational and strong human beings, and whose reputation suffered the misfortune of his best attempts to offer his truth." Other accounts of Maxwell were also published in 1988: Joe Haines's Maxwell (Macdonald, a Maxwell company) and Peter Thompson's Maxwell: A Portrait of Power (Bantam). This is an important addition to communications, history, business, and even legal collections, as it is also a study of censorship and terrorism. The photographs and index were not seen.
