Publisher's Synopsis
Prepare yourself for a helta-skelta ride around the City of London.
Experience what media tycoon and fraudster Robert Maxwell was really like, up close. Imagine having dinner with controversial Conservative Member of Parliament Nadine Dorries, become enraged by the secret filming of Diana, Princess of Wales, puzzle at the appearance of Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith at Woburn Abbey and wonder why Ghislaine Maxwell hoped to meet the author at a party. 'Square Mile Tales' is the autobiography of a man who spent over forty years in banking and corporate finance, was awarded the coveted Fellowship of the (Chartered) Institute of Bankers, who wrote the text book on Finance House, who co-founded ProShare Investment Clubs and brought share ownership into the lives of many and who explained it all in his best-selling book on the subject. Tremble with fear as the author was arrested by Chinese guards at the Hong Kong/Shenzhen border, as he was rushed to hospital in Beijing into the care of Dr Wang and how he became chairman of a Japanese media company to conclude an eventful career. But 'Square Mile Tales' is much, much more as the author recalls his fifty-four years of marriage and the economic, political and social background, to the events dominating his years in the City of London.
