London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1998. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. Esmond Rothermere assumed control of the great newspaper empire founded by Lord Northcliffe and his brother, the first Viscount Rothermere, in 1940, he was one of the richest men in England, handsome, witty, intelligent, powerful and notoriously attractive to women. He was reluctant to take on the running of Associated newspapers and it's flagship, the Daily Mail, and throughout his life he regarded this as duty rather than privilege. Leading an active if unsatisfying life of philandering, Esmond failed in his first two marriages, his second wife Anne O'Neill, nee Charteris ran off with one of his best friends, the novelist Ian Fleming. The book evokes the changing values of a nation coming to terms with the aftermath of World War II, the transitional 1950's and the permissive 1960's and is also a truthful and intriguing assessment of the price for power paid by a man who did not want it. 37… Read More

He climbed the volcano Nyiragongo, and spent a night at the bottom of its crater, alternatively scorched and frozen, observing the lake of molten lava, bright red under a black skin, bubbling and heaving beside him. He tested at Lake Tanganyika a theory of his that crocodiles are cowards, and will not attack a man under water; and he endured a killing journey across deserts and burning rocks to Lake Rudolf. But almost the greatest interest in his book lies in incidents by the way: land crabs encircling and advancing upon their quarry (Tazieff himself); the attempt of three of Cousteau's men to penetrate into Arabia, and how the local Emir, full of charm and knavery, kept them tightly under his thumb; and the… Read More
