Description
Robert Maxwell, Israel's Superspy: The Life and Murder of a Media Mogul For the first time, the full story of Robert Maxwell's life is revealed. Born into poverty, Maxwell built an international empire through ruthless ambition and cunning. But behind the scenes, he was leading a secret life as a superspy for Israel's Mossad. Maxwell's career as a spy and industrialist is exposed in this well-researched book, which sheds light on his involvement in the sale of surveillance software to the USSR and other countries, his recruitment of Republican Senator John Tower, and his attempts to oust Mikhail Gorbachev. The book also reveals the elaborate assassination plot that ultimately led to Maxwell's death in 1991. With eight pages of black-and-white illustrations, this compelling work provides a detailed and shocking account of Maxwell's life and death.
