Martin Dillon - Robert Maxwell

Martin Dillon - Robert Maxwell
February 14

Martin Dillon is an Irish author, journalist, and broadcaster. He
has won international acclaim for his investigative reporting and
non-fiction works on The Troubles, including his bestselling
trilogy, The Shankill Butchers, The Dirty War and God and the Gun,
about the Northern Ireland conflict.

Entrepreneur, publisher and maverick, Robert Maxwell was a man who
committed fraud on a global scale. A bully and a womaniser whose
appetite for power and possessions knew no limits, he manipulated
others to fulfil his own unsurpassed greed. With connections that
stretched far beyond the City and Wall Street to the shadowy world
of espionage and the conflicts of the Middle East, Maxwell was
privy to some very dangerous secrets. Mossad, the famed Israeli
intelligence agency, were observing him. Maxwell was becoming a
liability and they decided that he had to be silenced. Forever. In
this explosive account, investigative journalists Gordon Thomas and
Martin Dillon reveal for the first time the secret plot to
assassinate one of the world's most powerful businessmen. This is
the real story of the billionaire's execution - the motivation, the
planning, and the events of that cold night at sea when he met his
fate- and of much else too sensitive to reveal in advance of
publication. Drawing on interviews with Maxwell's family, former
members of the Israeli security services and others, this book
tells of the rise and fall of a man born into poverty who died at
the height of his power and intrigue.
