The real-life rags-to-riches story behind one of the world's most famous brand names. From poverty in the wake of World War II, the Benetton family empire now supplies 8,000 shops in 120 countries with its colourful knitwear and other goods. Benetton is famous for its controversial advertising campaigns and for its own Formula 1 motor racing team.  Jonathan Mantle explores the dark side of the United Colours of Benetton and is the first outsider to cross the barrier of Benetton's strict control of information about itself.

The amazing rise and rise of Andrew Lloyd Webber is here charted, first in partnership with Tim Rice but now, with his new wife Sarah Brightman, going it alone, with his last work "Phantom of the Opera" being a box office success here and in the States. But behind the facade is a deeply private man at odds with his own talent. The real part his upbringing has played and the conflicts it has caused has never been fully revealed. The author has also written "In For a Penny - the Biography of Jeffrey Archer".

Benetton is the story of an extraordinary family and the business they have built from humble origins to a skilfully orchestrated worldwide phenomenon. No other team name has such an ability to charm and shock, to subvert and yet preach conformism, to blend radicalism with capitalism, as Benetton. Behind the united colors and the seamless brand, there are also darker shades and looser threads. These include marginalized members of the family, aggrieved franchise holders, and banks. This is a success story from the frontline of the retail company, where soft fabrics mix with the smell of high-octane petrol and Grand Prix motor racing, and colored condoms combine with Catholicism and capitalism in their most red-blooded forms.

<p>An "astonishing...eye-opening chronicle" (Publisher's Weekly) of backstabbing, infighting, and industrial theft and espionage in the world's biggest business. It makes empires; it destroys economies; it shapes history. Welcome to the world's biggest business--the automobile industry. A hundred years ago there were six highly experimental cars. Today there are close to 400 million cars on the planet: set bumper to bumper on a six-lane highway, they would stretch well over 200,000 miles, more than eight times around the earth. With hundreds of billions of dollars at stake, is it any wonder that the major car companies wage a relentless war against one another, where (almost) anything goes? Here is the story of all the schemes and deceits, treacheries and shady deals in the battle for the world's car markets since the dawn of the global economy fifty years ago. The first true biography of the automobile, Car Wars gives us the automotive history as seen through the windshield of the car--with stories so spectacular they are often hard to believe. From Gianni Agnelli's deal to make Fiats in the USSR at the height of the cold war and Jose Ignacio Lopez's defection from GM to VW, through Pehr Gyllenhammar's foiled attempt to merge Volvo and Renault, and on to Nicolas Hayek's deal with Mercedes-Benz to build the Swatchcar in 1997, Car Wars is a roller coaster ride down the freeways and the back roads of the world's premier business, and an eye-opening history of the world's best-known and most-loved cars.</p>
