Goldsmith by Dominic Midgley
Sir James Goldsmith was one of the most intriguing figures of the twentieth century but as a billionaire with a taste for litigation he successfully ensured that, for much of his life, his background, methods and ambitions escaped far-reaching investigation. This is the first unauthorised biography of Goldsmith and it deals with every aspect of his complex life. This is a book for anyone interested in how great fortunes are built, the future of Europe, the ongoing controversy over environmental issues and - of course - how a charismatic man can juggle a succession of wives and mistresses. Has he equipped his children to exploit the fortune he has left to build a vast business empire or has he condemned them to gilded obscurity? Goldsmith tells the incredible story of an extraordinary man and the legacy he has left his family and the world.Chris Hutchins, a writer and broadcaster, is a well-known author of celebrated biographies of the wealthy, famous, and royals. Fergie Confidential, his debut book, was an intimate biography of the Duchess of York that recounted her tumultuous marriage to Prince Andrew, the Queen's favorite son. He followed that up with Diana's Nightmare: The Family, a revelatory biography of the late Princess of Wales that cemented his reputation as a royal expert to the point where he was asked to cover Prince Charles' second marriage for American television. Elvis Meets the Beatles, a meeting he arranged during his personal contact with all five, ATHINA: The Last Onassis, a deep dive into the world of the Onassis dynasty, and GOLDSMITH: Money, Women, and Power, a biography of the late billionaire industrialist, Sir James Goldsmith, were among the books that followed. Hutchins has recently turned his attention to Russia, writing candid biographies of the country's leader, PUTIN, and the country's most well-known tycoon, ABRAMOVICH: The Billionaire from Nowhere.
The author returned to the royal scene with HARRY: The People's Prince, a fascinating book about Diana's son. 'Chris Hutchins seems to have seen and done it all,' says Mark Bolland, Prince Charles' former secretary.
