Description
Revised and Updated Edition of the Bestselling and Controversial Biography
Britain's leading investigative writer and biographer, Tom Bower, turns the full beam of his formidable powers on one of the most controversial figures of the present day: Mohamed Al Fayed.
Owner of Harrods, bereaved father of Dodi, and instigator of the 'cash for questions' sensation, The Fall of Fayed was originally published in 1998 to wide acclaim. However, with recent heinous accusations of sexual misconduct coming to light, this new revised and updated edition offers a fresh perspective, imbued with Tom's trademark acerbic insight on this controversial figure.
