Flash Splash Crash All at Sea With Cap'N Bob Author:Mike Maloney, William Hall Mike Maloney, personal photographer for the late media mogul Robert Maxwell, takes us on board for a rare glimpse of the champagne-and-caviar lifestyle of the one of the century's most outlandish figures. An uproarious voyage, packed with photos. Megalomaniac...Tyrant...Unscrupulous rogue who made, managed, and secretly plundered milli... more »ons. But Robert Maxwell was also a man with incredible magnetism. One person, above all others, was able to witness the mesmeric, Rasputin-like influence that Maxwell exerted on all who came within his orbit. Mike Maloney was Maxwell's personal photographer for seven amazing years. Ever at the elbow of ``Cap'n Bob,'' Maloney penetrated the corridors of the Kremlin to dine with Gorbachev, found himself in the wilds of Outer Mongolia, at the White House with Reagan, and in Scotland with the Queen. He trod the plush carpets of Maxwells's luxury yacht and walked the grounds of his fabulous mansion. He even had the key to Maxwell's private apartment. Now he takes the wraps off his camera and his memories to show us a man whose like we may never see again. As the author notes, ``If it was fiction, you would not believe it. But it happened--every word of it.'' 224 pp 7 1/2 x 10 80 b/w photos« less
