Synopsis
"The Daily Telegraph's" trademark obituary style, created by Hugh Massingberd, is distinguished by the quality of the writing, the humour and the focus on the individuality and character of the subjects. This new collection, the first to be devoted to the business world, is divided into nine sections, each concentrating on a particular group such as 'City Chaps', Entrepreneurs', 'Rogues and Mavericks', or 'Gurus'. In all, some one hundred individuals who died over the past twenty years are covered, most of them British but also including, under the heading of 'Global Players', international figures such as Akio Morita, the founder of Sony, or Giovanni Agnelli of Fiat. Some were household names in their lifetimes, like Lord Sieff of Marks and Spencer or Jimmy Goldsmith of Referendum Party fame. Others were little known to the public but profoundly influential in their own closed worlds of, for example, high finance, and commodity trading or economic think-tanks. Some were flamboyant or eccentric, others self-effacing or secretive. Many did well by stealth; a few went on trial amid widespread publicity. Unsurprisingly, given the times in which they lived, most were men, but a few, like the 'serial entrepreneur' Jennifer d'Abo, were remarkable and memorable women - their number will no doubt increase in future volumes. What they all had in common was that their skills, their insights, their courage and, not least, their characters played a part in shaping the world in which we live today.

About the Author
Martin Vander Weyer is business editor and columnist for The Spectator and the business obituarist of The Daily Telegraph, perhaps the only journalist specialising in the field. He was previously the City Editor of The Week and spent fifteen years working as an investment banker in London Brussels and the Far East. His first book, Falling Eagle: The Decline of Barclay's Bank (2000), was described by The Economist as 'Instructive, terrifying and wonderfully entertaining'.
