Description from goodreads.com:
The author's follow-up novel after 'The Empire Builders' Story of a man's climb from an East End market stall to rule a textiles and cosmetics empire that spans the world. Also strong on female characters in an era when this was rare, with authors like Stratton, Sheldon and Robbins breaking the old 'establishment' mold. The book is long, almost 600 pages, but is whirlwind-paced. A great read, but avoid if you don't care for the 1980s uncompromising language.
