Books, Manuscripts
To the public, he was the eccentric owner of one of the world's great department stores. But behind closed doors, Al-Fayed ruled with cruelty, humiliation and unchecked abuse. Why were his crimes ignored? Why did those in power look the other way? This explosive investigation lays bare the power, corruption and complicity at the heart of an iconic British institution. Drawing on firsthand interviews with former staff, allies, executives and police officers, 'The Monster of Harrods' exposes chilling accounts of misconduct, many revealed here for the first time.
