NIGHTMARE Ernest Saunderrs and the Guinness Affair

Softcover. From exclusive boardrooms and multi-million-pound deals, to penury, a broken family and a continuing nightmare... Ernest Saunders took the ailing Guinness company and, in masterstrokes of pure genius, turned it into one of the world's blue-chip businesses. Then in 1986 after Guinness's bloody and bitter battle for ownership of Distillers, disaster, in the shape of Inspectors from the Department of Trade and Industry, struck. The resulting scandal rocked the city and revealed to the public the unacceptable face of capitalism. It also ruined Ernest Saunders. Written by his son, the book is both a riveting business expose and the compelling account of a family tragedy. Illus., Epilogue, List of Principal Characters, Chronology, Appendix and Index. 293pp. softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate Lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
