Peter Venison on Sol Kerzner (1935-2020), the business tycoon who founded both of South Africa's largest hotel groups, the Southern Sun Hotel Group and Sun International and developed Sun City and The Palace of the Lost City in South Africa, and the Atlantis developments in the Bahamas and Dubai.

"... this is not a conventional biography based on extensive research and countless interviews ... the book is primarily based on personal reflections and covers the years that I worked with Sol" from the author's note 

“From Sun City to the Atlantis in Dubai, Sol provides a window into the genius of Kerzner, replete with expletive-laden quotes. A great read.” Nicki Gules, News24

Peter Venison worked for Kerzner in various capacities between 1971 and 2001, in South Africa, the USA and the Bahamas. In later years they found themselves on opposite sides in various trade-related legal disputes. Now retired, Venison lives in Surrey, UK.
