About this audiobook
Penguin Audio presents Damaged Goods written and read by Oliver Shah.
DISCOVER THE SHOCKING TRUTH BEHIND THE BUSINESS AND LIFESTYLE OF SIR PHILIP GREEN
In this jaw-dropping expose, Oliver Shah uncovers the truth behind one of Britain's biggest business scandals, following Sir Philip Green's journey to the big time, the wild excesses of his heyday and his dramatic demise.
Stunning praise for the book:
'A detailed and entertaining dismantling of the 'king of the high street'' Guardian
'Superb' Evening Standard
'From the glitzy parties to the threatening phone calls, the larger-than-life characters to the speedy downfall, this real-life tale of hubris has all the elements of a Greek tragedy' City AM
'Entertaining stuff, pacily written. Filled with colourful characters - and expletives' The Times
'Shah has written a hard-hitting, often funny, ultimately sobering tale of how fortunes were made and lost in late 20th and early 21st century Britain' Financial Times

How on earth Phillip Green, with his long record of failures and defalcations, managed to cobble together a retail empire, is a wonder of the ages. His demolition, or attempted demolition, by sleight of hand of a major British retailer makes for appalling reading.
