M€dia magnate and publishcr Robert Maxwell not only had a larger-than-life per sona to match his physical dimensions, but had a grandiose vision of himself and his place in the international scheme of things. In Foreign Body, freelanc,e writer/broad caster Russell Davies (who managed never to work for the man) pieces together a fasci nating /portrayal of Maxwell: his impover ,ishcd upbringing; the origins of his business success via 'the military ioteUigence commu nity in the War ye.ars and his ongoing asso ciations with several intelligence agcnc.ies; his rise as a British Labour MP; his publish ing excursions at thome and abroad; and his behin'd-the-scenes diplomacy with world leaders especially in Soviet Russia, Eastern Europe and Israel. Davies describes now Maxwell, with his strong measure of brava do and ~esire for self-promotion, took on the world. How certain leaders and top officials reacted to him rcveals something of Maxwell's narcissistic character and linterna tional political agenda-which, as Davies argues, had a seeming lack of direction Lo it. Regardless of which, if any, side he was on or negotiating for, somehow Maxwell always ma_naged to divert some power and resources into his own coffers. While Maxwell's financjallegacy has been well-documented by others, Davies concen trates on the lesser-known myth behind the man, and yet MaxweJ~ still remains mysteri ous even beyond! his untimely death at sea In 1991. Perpiexing as he was, Robert Maxwell possibly became too influentiall a private world citizen for his own good. JUNE-JULY 1996 NEXUS • 65
