Fayed by Tom Bower
Mohamed Fayed has become Britain's most controversial tycoon. Flamboyant and condemned by DTI inspectors as a 'liar' and 'guilty of deception on a grand scale', Fayed, who has always bitterly attacked these findings has defied his critics and, unrestrained, has wilfully imposed himself on British public life. Taking the fiery Egyptian as his latest subject, Tom Bower has produced an outstanding biography of compulsive readability whose authority is enhanced by conversations with Fayed and over 200 of his friends and enemies. The tormented and bizarre journey of the poor boy from Egypt who became the self-proclaimed king of Knightsbridge is a saga reminiscent of an epic Hollywood thriller ...'A brilliant insight into the career of a driven man ...a fascinating study in ambition' Express 'An unforgettable demolition job' Guardian 'There is enough sex and intrigue here for a sequel to the Arabian Nights' Sunday Times 'Tom Bower has triumphantly told the truth about an awful man' Spectator
