Lord Black The Biography

In this remarkable book, journalist and author George Tombs tracks the rise and fall of one of the world's most colorful figures. Lord Black paints a portrait of a brilliant, complex and driven man. Here is Black as the angry and rebellious student who is expelled from school. Here, too, is Black as the future staunch supporter of Israel cultivating ties with one of Quebec's leading pro-Vichy, anti-Jewish personalities. We find a man who embraced liberalism before becoming one of the key voices of conservatism on the world stage. And we see Black fall hopelessly in love with the beautiful and brilliant journalist Barbara Amiel. Supported by exhaustive research, previously unreleased documents and interviews with all the key figures -- including Conrad Black himself from 2000- 2003 -- Lord Black is an in-depth and behind-the-mask story of Black's quest for power and the mistakes that would prove to be his undoing.Tombs, George is the author of 'Lord Black The Biography', published 2004 under ISBN 9780973549102 and ISBN 0973549106.
