The Vestey Affair by Phillip Knightley is a hard-hitting 1981 exposé of Britain’s secretive Vestey meat-packing dynasty and the political scandal that surrounded them. Knightley, the celebrated investigative journalist, traces how one family built a global food empire while sidestepping taxes, unions, and scrutiny for decades.

This vintage hardback delivers a gripping blend of business history, true crime, and biography that still feels startlingly relevant. Collectors will appreciate this signed first edition, personally inscribed by Knightley on the title page.

The book arrives with its original illustrated dust jacket, tight binding, and crisp, unmarked pages from a smoke-free home. Whether you follow corporate scandals, economic history, or simply love a well-researched true story, The Vestey Affair offers an engrossing window into power, money, and the secrets behind your supermarket shelf.
