 Local Description1990. First edition. A near fine copy only marked by a small previous owners name to the front free endpaper. The d/w is unclipped and very good with light rubbing only. DescriptionTelling the story of Harry Openheimer - one of the richest men in the world - and his company Anglo-American, this book describes the crisis that has beset the West's biggest gold and diamond producer. Damned by association with South Africa, the company is hounded by regulatory authorities the world over and its shares stand at massive discounts on world stock markets. The book tells the story of Anglo's desperate attempt to escape from South Africa, an attempt that led to a 3.2 billion pound hostile takeover bid for Consolidated Goldfields, masterminded by one of Britain's best-known businessmen, Sir Michael Edwards. |
