One Last Deal
One Last Deal is the confessions of an unrepentant con-man. Businessman, Daniel Fogg, tells his own story about how his grandiose ambitions to build a global financial empire fell victim to greed, ego, and vanity. It all begins when he makes the life-changing decision to move his business to the exotic island tax-haven of Malzano, home of celebrities, defunct aristocracy, and self-made billionaires. Daniel is at a point in his life when he 'craves youth, energy, glamor, and risk', cravings that lead him to make dangerous liaisons and poor decisions. A self-described 'hustler with a conscience', Daniel tries to make a sport of accumulating wealth and he wants to play a 'good clean game', but he has to contend with mayhem, murder, and corruption on the island. Aggravated by personal tragedy, weakness of character, and an over-charged ego, he resorts to lying, cheating, and fraud for his own survival. A thriller of a story, One Last Deal has many elements of popular crime fiction - glamor, mystery, sex, betrayal, treachery - but it is, at heart, a tale of personal pathos about a man whose vanity drives him to reach beyond his grasp.

The authors all occupy the same general political position, they are democratic socialists and active members of the Labour Party. The book falls into three rough divisions, although all the papers are self-contained. The first part of the book is psychological and attempts to summarise and analyse the non-historical evidence (ecological, psychological, and anthropological) about the causes of fighting. The second part is historical. It surveys the different causes of international war in the nineteenth c...
