This is the last great untold story of the larger-than-life figure who was Robert Maxwell. At the height of his success his public persona was constantly turned towards the limelight and his later fall from grace during the Mirror pensions scandal was well documented.Maxwell's sudden,suspicious death resulted in much speculation,but there were few facts available considering the level of scrutiny that he had been subjected to during his lifetime. Here,for the first time,are explosive revelations about Maxwell's links to global organised crime.Through meticulous research and a substantial number of private interviews, Gordon Thomas and Martin Dillon have uncovered the extent of Maxwell's entanglement with the international underworld.Drawing from interviews with senior intelligence officers and other integral players,they are able to reveal how Mossad,the Israeli secret service,approached Maxwell,a dedicated Jew,and asked him to work with them.They recount how the billionaire tycoon used his power and stature to access powerhouses such as the White House,10 Downing Street and the Kremlin in order to obtain knowledge of highly guarded secrets for Israel. 'The assassination of Robert Maxwell' provides exclusive information about the intelligence software containing a secret surveillance trapdoor that Maxwell marketed around the world and details of his international progress.And there is an in-depth examination of the clues, contradictions and cover-up surrounding the night of his death. 'The Assassination of Robert Maxwell' reads like a thriller with its striking,merciless characters from the worlds of crime and surveillance but it is rooted in fact and contains extracts from unpublished FBI and other intelligence documents.It is the remarkable story of a powerful man who overstepped the mark.
