Items related to Tiny Rowland: The Ugly Face of Neocolonialism in Africa
Africa is dying, its people relentlessly mowed down by starvation and disease. Among the perpetrators of this holocaust are the International Monetary Fund, the former colonial powers, and the multinational corporations and commodity cartels. One man, above all the rest, bears special, personal responsibility for turning the 1960s dreams of independence into a nightmare: Roland Walter "Tiny" Rowland, boss of the British multinational Lonrho, for decades the continent's mos powerful Western businessman. Who is Tiny Rowland? Since he took over a sleepy little mining company in 1961 and turned it into one of the world's premier multinationals, Rowland has wrapped himself and his company in a fog of lies, half-truths and confusion. Whispers of bribery, gun-running, and murder have accompanied Rowland's meteoric rise, as have dark hints of protection in high places, by Britain's intelligence agencies, and even by the Crown itself. Journalists who have attempted to pierce this veil have either been terrorized, or seen their stories repeatedly "spiked." This book, the result of a years-long investigation spanning several continents, finally lays bare the deep secrets behind the boss of Lonrho.
