Zaharoff: High Priest of War is a biography of the notorious arms dealer Sir Basil Zaharoff, written by Davenport and Guiles. The book delves into the life of the enigmatic figure who rose from humble beginnings in Greece to become one of the most powerful and influential men in the arms trade. Zaharoff's shrewd business dealings and his ability to manipulate politicians and governments for his own gain are explored in detail, as are his personal relationships with some of the most prominent figures of his time, including Winston Churchill and the Rothschild family. The book also examines Zaharoff's involvement in some of the most significant conflicts of the early 20th century, including World War I and the Russian Revolution. Through extensive research and interviews with those who knew him, the authors paint a vivid portrait of a complex and controversial figure who remains a subject of fascination and intrigue to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
