"In February 1991, Robert Maxwell triumphantly sailed into Manhattan harbor on his yacht, the Lady Ghislaine, to buy the ailing New York Daily News. Ten months later, Maxwell disappeared off that same yacht in the middle of the night and was later found dead in the water. Preston recounts Maxwell's rise and fall and rise and fall again. He examines the forces Maxwell's childhood as a Jew in occupied Eastern Europe, his failed political ambitions in the 1960s which ended in accusations of financial double-dealing, and his resurrection as a media mogul. Preston also examines the family legacy he left behind, including his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell."--Adapted from jacket
