Notes:
Autobiography of Nigel Broackes, b1934, dealing with his private and public life but with a very strong focus on business. Relates the development of his vehicle, Trafalgar House of which he was managing director from 1958 and chairman from 1969, and its commercial property development business. Deals with the particular businesses acquired or considered for acquisition by Trafalgar - eg Cunard Steamship, Beaverbrook Newspapers, Trust Houses prior to merger with Forte, Bowater, Ritz Hotel, etc. Chatty and anecdotal with much about networking with other business leaders, eg Jim Slater
